Baltimore is a city with a history unmatched by most modern American cities. Originally established in 1729, Baltimore was the scene for a spectacular harbor defense in the War of 1812 against the British. In fact, that battle is now immortalized in the Star Spangled Banner! By 1815, Baltimore received an independent city status, meaning that it is no longer part of any county.

The city is home to some 640,000 people in a mix of both modern and antique buildings. Certain portions of the city date back to its inception, permeating the city with a sense of history. Major areas of Baltimore include the Inner Harbor, which was revitalized over the last 20 years into a major cultural, culinary, and entertainment district.

For sports fans, Baltimore houses baseball's Orioles and football's Ravens. The famous Pimlico Race Track is also home to the second leg of the Triple Crown.
