Photographed July 2007
The city is named after Baltimore in Ireland, because the founding proprietor of the Maryland Colony, Lord Baltimore, was the hereditary Lord of the Irish town.
The small town founded during the early colonial period on the waterfront of a small inner harbor off the Chesapeake Bay has evolved into a thriving metropolis.
During the American Revolution, Baltimore was a key supply hub, and is the birth place of the Star Spangled Banner by Francis Scott Key.
Today, over a half million people call Baltimore City their home.
