Gay Baltimore : The Charm City – A Charming Place to Call Home
Baltimore is a diverse and colorful city with a rich history and a progressive future. Known for its beautiful harbor, its distinct and quirky neighborhoods, and its art, tradition, and innovation, the Charm City would be a wonderful place for anyone in the LGBTQ society to call home.
A Watch at Baltimore’s History
Baltimore is Maryland’s largest city, and its economic hub. Originally named for Lord Baltimore, a member of the Irish House of Lords, Baltimore was first settled in the early 17th century. The harbor, which is surrounded today by shops, restaurants, and other attractions once made Baltimore a hub for tobacco trade with England. It later became a granary for sugar-producing Caribbean colonies, and eventually a working-class port town with a number of booming industries. Baltimore continued to develop into the thriving, modern-day city that it now is – progressive, original, and looking toward the future, while still valuing and preserving the well-off history of its past.
