Baltimore is the largest city in the state of Maryland. Baltimore's Inner Harbor was once the second leading port entry for immigrants to the United States and a major manufacturing center. Although Baltimore has shifted from a top industrial city to a service-oriented economy, it is still a distinguished city. The Baltimore Metropolitan area has grown to 2.7 million residents in 2010, making it the 20th largest in the country. The city is named after Lord Baltimore, the founding proprietor of the Maryland Colony. Baltimore is popularly known as Charm City and has sometimes been dubbed as the "city of neighborhoods," with 72 designated historic districts traditionally occupied by distinct ethnic groups. Baltimore City has so many hidden treasures and is a "Charming" place anyone like myself can call home.
