- Baltimore is the largest city in the U.S. 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. The independent city is often referred to as Baltimore City to distinguish it from surrounding Baltimore County. Founded in 1729, Baltimore is the largest seaport in the Mid-Atlantic United States and is situated closer to Midwestern markets than any other major seaport on the East Coast. Baltimore's Inner Harbor was once the second leading port of entry for immigrants to the United States and a major manufacturing center. After a decline in manufacturing, Baltimore shifted to a service-oriented economy. At 620,961 residents in 2010, Baltimore's population has decreased by one-third since its peak in 1950. The Baltimore Metropolitan Area has grown steadily to approximately 2.7 million residents in 2010; the 20th largest in the country. Baltimore is also a principal city in the larger Baltimore–Washington combined statistical area of approximately 8.4 million residents. The city is named after Lord Baltimore, a member of the Irish House of Lords and the founding proprietor of the Maryland Colony. Baltimore is an anglicization of the Irish Gaelic name Baile an Tí Mhóir, meaning "town of the big house", from which Baltimore, County Cork derives its name.
- Baltimore es una ciudad independiente y la más poblada del estado estadounidense de Maryland. La ciudad está situada en el centro del estado, junto al río Patapsco, que desemboca en la Bahía Chesapeake. A menudo, Baltimore es denominada Ciudad de Baltimore para distinguirla del Condado de Baltimore. Fundada en 1729, Baltimore es un importante centro portuario y es el puerto de la Costa Este más próximo a los mercados del Medio Oeste. El puerto interior de Baltimore fue, antiguamente, el segundo puerto que mayor volumen de entrada de inmigrantes recibía en los Estados Unidos y un importante centro manufacturero. Actualmente es hogar de Harborplace, un centro comercial, turístico y de entretenimiento; y el Aquario Nacional de Baltimore. Tras el declive de la manufactura, la economía de Baltimore cambió hacia el sector servicios. La Universidad Johns Hopkins y el Hospital Johns Hopkins acaparan la mayor cifra de trabajadores de la ciudad. En 2008, la población de Baltimore era de 636.919 habitantes, mientras que el Área Metropolitana de Baltimore era de 2.668.056 millones de habitantes, la 20ª más grande del país. El área estadística combinada asociada a Baltimore tiene alrededor de 8,3 millones de habitantes. La ciudad recibe su nombre de Lord Baltimore, de la Cámara Irlandesa de los Lores y fundador de la colonia británica de Maryland. Baltimore tomó su nombre de un lugar de la parroquia de Bornacoola, en los condados de Leitrim y Longford, en Irlanda. Baltimore es la forma anglificada del irlandés Baile an Ti Mhóir, que significa "Ciudad de la Casa Grande"; no confundir con Baltimore, en el Condado de Cork, cuyo nombre en irlandés es Dún na Séad.
- Baltimore on vuonna 1729 perustettu kaupunki Marylandin osavaltiossa Yhdysvaltain itärannikolla. Itse kaupungissa on 636 251 asukasta (2005) mutta Baltimoren ja Washingtonin yhdessä muodostamalla metropolialueella asuu noin 7,6 miljoonaa asukasta. Kaupungin väestöstä on 64,3 % mustia ja 31,6 % valkoisia. Kaupunki on ollut esimerkkinä koko Yhdysvalloissa rappeutuvan keskuskaupungin elvyttämisessä. Kaupunki on nimetty Marylandin ensimmäisen kuvernöörin, lordi Baltimoren mukaan.
- Baltimore est une ville du nord-est des États-Unis située dans l'État du Maryland. Localisée au centre de l'État et au confluent entre la rivière Patapsco et la baie de Chesapeake qui donne sur l'océan Atlantique, c'est la ville la plus importante du Maryland avec habitants en 2007. Avec Washington, D.C. située à une soixantaine de kilomètres, elle constitue une agglomération de près de 8,2 millions d'habitants, ce qui en fait la quatrième agglomération du pays. Sa position centrale sur la côte Est des États-Unis en a fait historiquement un carrefour entre les États du sud et du nord. Baltimore possède en outre la spécificité de n'être intégrée à aucun comté, ce qui en fait une ville indépendante depuis sa séparation avec le comté de Baltimore en 1851. Forte de sa position, la cité se développa en tant que port important. Porte d’entrée en Amérique du Nord pour de nombreux immigrants européens, la ville exportait autrefois de nombreuses marchandises vers l'Europe. Cette position stratégique lui valut également d’être le lieu d’une importante bataille navale lors de la guerre de 1812. Plus tard, la ville devint un centre naval de premier ordre et se développa également grâce à la sidérurgie. Alors que Baltimore était la deuxième ville la plus peuplée des États-Unis en 1850, sa position est aujourd’hui bien différente après une forte baisse démographique depuis les années 1960. La ville essaie aujourd’hui de se redresser grâce à de nombreux projets de rénovation urbaine comme dans son port intérieur et grâce à sa culture. La ville est en effet le lieu où est décédé le poète et nouvelliste Edgar Allan Poe et de nombreux autres artistes. Elle accueille également plusieurs équipes sportives concourant dans les plus importantes divisions du pays.

- Baltimore – miasto na wschodnim wybrzeżu USA, największe w stanie Maryland. Leży około 60 km od Waszyngtonu i tworzy z nim jeden obszar metropolitalny. Jest miastem niezależnym, a więc nie wchodzi w skład żadnego hrabstwa.
