Baltimore (Maryland)
Baltimore je nezavisni grad smješten u američkoj državi Maryland. Godine 2010. stanovništvo Baltimorea je bilo procijenjeno na 620.961 ljudi. [1][2] Baltimore je jedna od najvećih američkih luka, smještena u Zaljevu Chesapeake bliža državama Srednjeg Zapada nego ijedna druga luka na Istočnoj Obali. Nekada je bio poznat kao industrijski grad poznat po proizvodnom sektoru, a danas se njegova ekonomija više okrenula [[uslužni sektor|uslužnom sektoru], pa najveći poslodavac više nije Bethlehem Steel nego Univerzitet Johns Hopkins i bolnoca Johns Hopkins.
Metropolitanska oblast Baltimore, koja uključuje susjedna predragrađa, ima oko 2,6 miliona stanovnika. Baltimore je također dio Metropolitanske oblast Baltimore-Washingtron (CMSA) koje ima otprilike 8,1 miliona stanovnika. Baltimore je najveći grad u Marylandu, a njegova metropolitanska oblast je 20. po veličini u SAD.
Grad je ime dobio po osnivaču Kolonije Maryland, Lordu Baltimoreu iz Irskog doma lorodova. Baltimore je svoje ime uzeo prema mjestu Baltimore u Irskoj, što je engleska transliteracija irskog izraza Baile an Tí Mhoir, ili "Dom velike kuće".[3] Nije jasno je li Baltimore bio Baltimore u Okrugu Cork ili mjesto u okrughu Longford koje se nekad zvalo Baltimore.
Baltimore je 1800-ih bio drugi najpopularniji grad u kojem su se iskrcavali doseljenici u SAD.
S obzirom da se u susjedstvu nalazi Okrug Baltimore za Baltimore se ponekad koristi izraz Baltimore City (Grad Baltimore) kako bi se označila razlika.
