Welcome to Baltimore, Maryland.
Baltimore is an independent city located in the U.S. state of Maryland. As of July 1, 2002, the population is 638,614, and the population of the Baltimore-Washington Metroplex as of 2000 is 7.6 million, up from 6.7 million in 1990. It is the largest city in Maryland, named after the founding proprietor of the Maryland Colony, Caecilius Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore.
The city is a major part of the Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan Area and a major U.S.seaport. Because there is also a Baltimore County adjacent to (but not including) the city, it is sometimes referred to as Baltimore City when a clear distinction is desired. The city is full of gorgeous architecture, ornate rowhouses, public squares, natural ravines, and one of the best harbors in the world.
Baltimore, the 12th largest city in the United States, is named "Charm City" for its residents well-established concern for the quality of life. Long considered a southern town, Baltimore owed much of its early growth and prosperity to its desirable location. It lay farther west than any other major Atlantic port, endearing its harbor to shippers. Baltimore now ranks fifth among United States ports, with major railways and trucking lines carrying cargoes to and from docks at Canton and Curtis Bay, as well as raw materials to the city's many factories.

Today, Baltimoreans take pride in their city, eager to live and work here, and to take advantage of a city rich in culture and history. Influenced by the talent of writers Edgar Allen Poe and H.L. Mencken, musician James Hubert "Eubie" Blake and singer Billie Holiday, Baltimore continues to grow, boasting one of the most remarkable transformations in recent American history.
Baltimore is the location of the Baltimore World Trade Center, the world's tallest equilateral five-sided building (the five-sided JPMorganChase Tower in Houston, Texas is taller, but has unequal sides).
Baltimore is also the location of Pimlico Race Course, the home of the Preakness Stakes, the second leg of the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing. The Preakness has been run since 1873.
Baltimore has become a prime city for filming movies and television. In recent years, efforts to redevelop the downtown area have led to a revitalization of the Inner Harbor. In 1979 the Baltimore Convention Center was opened and was subsequently renovated and expanded in 1996. Harborplace, a modern urban retail and restaurant complex, was opened on the waterfront in 1980, followed by the National Aquarium in Baltimore, Maryland's largest tourist destination, in 1981. In 1992, the Baltimore Orioles of Major League Baseball moved downtown to Oriole Park at Camden Yards, and six years later the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League moved next door into the newly renamed M&T Bank Stadium.
