    We like it here in Baltimore
    There's so much love in Baltimore
    Working hand in hand
    To make this place a better land
    In Baltimore
    Love is what you'll find
    So stop and take the time
    I've got Oriole Baseball on my mind.

    Baltimore is the largest city in the state of Maryland. It is located in the central area of the state along the tidal portion of the Patapsco River, an arm of the Chesapeake Bay. Baltimore was founded in 1729 and became an independent city (separated from Baltimore County) in 1851. Information about the distinct neighborhoods of Baltimore City can be found at the Other Wiki.

    Fort McHenry, the birthplace of the National Anthem, is part of Baltimore City.

    The Preakness Stakes, an American flat Thoroughbred horse race for three-year-olds (and the "second jewel" in the Triple Crown [2]), is held on the third Saturday in May each year at Pimlico Race Course.

    Fans of the Baltimore Ravens (pro football) have a long-standing rivalry with fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

    Artistically speaking, Baltimore City is home of Baltimore Rock Opera Society, Baltimore School for the Arts, and the Peabody Institute.

    Baltimore City is also the home of Johns Hopkins University, Johns Hopkins Hospital, the Domino Sugar refinery (known locally as "the sugar factory"), and the Inner Harbor, a tourist location of shops, restaurants, boat slips, and the National Aquarium.

    As a port city, Baltimore was kind of important during things like the colonization of America, the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, and the Civil War.
