The city is named after the founding proprietor
of the Maryland Colony, Lord Baltimore in the Irish House of Lords. Baltimore
himself took his title from Baltimore in County Longford in Ireland, which
is the English transliteration of the Irish language Baile an Tí
Mór, or "Townland of the big house".
Baltimore became an independent city in 1851, being separated from Baltimore
County at that time.
Baltimore became the second leading port of entry for immigrants to the United
States during the 1800s.
The Great Baltimore Fire on February 7, 1904,
destroyed over 1,500 buildings in 30 hours and forced most of the city to
rebuild.
Baltimore is divided into nine geographical
regions- Northern, Northwestern, Northeastern, Western, Central, Eastern,
Southern, Southwestern, and Southeastern
After New York City, Baltimore was the second
city in the United States to reach a population of 100,000, (followed by
New Orleans, Philadelphia, Boston). Baltimore was the second largest city
in the nation until 1860, when it was surpassed by Philadelphia
