Introduction 4. POPULATION. The figures given here include growth indicators as well as breakdowns by race/ethnic group, age, and gender. Current population estimates and future projections are based on the most current information available, which in many cases was the subcounty population estimates for July 1, 2007 from the U.S. Census Bureau. Racial/ethnic, age, and gender breakdowns are based on the 2005-2007 American Community Survey from the U.S. Census Bureau for most cities; for some cities, however, data from the 2000 Census was the most current information available. In addition to relevant population statistics for the city, figures are provided also for the county, including total county population and the percentage of change in the county’s population from 2000-2007.
Moving & Relocation Directory provides important contact information, demographics, and other details for 121 U.S. cities, including major population centers as well as smaller cities that are popular relocation destinations. While this work is designed specifically to assist people planning to relocate and to help familiarize them with their destination cities and the surrounding areas, it is also a useful tool for librarians, students, and other researchers seeking local information. Information contained in Moving & Relocation Directory is obtained through original research, including direct contact with chambers of commerce, government offices, and independent real estate firms. All of the contact information obtained from these organizations, or from printed or other resources, is independently verified to assure the highest level of accuracy.
5. GOVERNMENT. The city’s government type is noted here, followed by detailed contact information for principal city government departments.

The overall arrangement of Moving & Relocation Directory is alphabetical by city name, with the name of the county in which a city is located given as part of the general heading for that city. Information provided for each of the 121 cities listed is then grouped according to the following categories: 1. LOCATION. A brief description of the city’s location is given first, followed by a list of “city facts” denoting its land and water area (including total parkland), elevation, latitude and longitude, time zone, area code(s), and state and local tax information.

This section also includes contact information for major employers in the area, including employers representing both public and private sectors, as available. (In most cases where federal or state government are among an area’s largest employers, this is indicated in the description of the economy rather than in the contact list.)
surrounding area. (Listings for the principal rail and bus stations also include other contact information.) Other useful details provided here include the distance from the airport to the city’s downtown area and the base fare for mass transit services. 14. UTILITIES.

10. QUALITY OF LIVING INDICATORS. Crime statistics from the FBI’s Preliminary Annual Uniform Crime Reports 2007 are listed for each city, as available. The Total Crime Index represents the total number of Property Crime figures plus Violent Crime figures. Cost of living indicators (including the total Cost of Living Index) also are given for each city, with all figures based on 2008 data compiled by the Council for Community and Economic Research. Median and average home prices, property appreciation rate, and average cost of rental housing are also listed here. The median home prices for most cities were obtained from the National Association of Realtors and reflect third quarter 2008 data, and the property appreciation rates represent the median home price percent change from the third quarter of 2007 to the third quarter of 2008; however, if the city was not included on the association’s list, the information was obtained from other resources.

1. Where To Get Help For Moving The regulatory agency that governs the practices of interstate movers in the U.S. is the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Moving companies are required to comply with FMCSA safety and commercial regulations regarding estimates and receipts, and they are required to give customers a copy of a FMCSA publication entitled ‘‘Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move.’’ This publication is available online at http://www.protectyourmove. gov, and the FMCSA recommends that consumers read it carefully before choosing a moving company.
Each year, millions of Americans face the sometimes arduous task of moving. Although some people are fortunate enough to have their relocations handled by their employers, many others are responsible for making their own arrangements. Careful planning, organization, and research are essential to minimize complications and ensure a successful relocation. Fortunately, many excellent resources are available that provide a variety of information for persons planning to relocate from one place to another. One such resource is the local chamber of commerce. Most chambers offer relocation guides and maps, often free of charge or for a nominal fee, that provide useful information about the city and surrounding area. These guides often include details on topics ranging from the local economy to education to recreation, and some include sections that focus specifically on moving and relocation, complete with checklists and tips. (Detailed contact information for city and state chambers of commerce is provided at the end of this section.)
Interstate moving companies must register with the U.S. Department of Transportation, and consumers can check to be sure a mover is properly registered at the protectyourmove.gov website. All sorts of other useful information is available at this website as well, including a detailed Moving Checklist. The site also provides a link to the FMCSA’s complaint hotline and website (http://nccdb.fmcsa.dot.gov), where consumers can file a complaint online or call the Household Goods Consumer Complaint Hotline at 888-368-7238. This toll-free number is available 24 hours a day. The FMCSA also recommends that consumers contact their local Better Business Bureaus or Chambers of Commerce to find out if any complaints have been filed against the moving company or companies that are being considered.
Many chambers of commerce pass on the names and addresses of prospective residents to member insurance and real estate companies, which in turn offer their services and (often) additional relocation information. Some communities also have newcomers groups that provide information and bring together people new to the area. (Contact information for local realtor associations is included for each of the cities profiled in this directory. National real estate companies and state realtor associations are listed at the end of this section.)
For other matters, consumers can contact the Administration at: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Office of Public & Consumer Affairs Phone: 888-368-7238 400 7th St SW, MC-PA Washington, DC 20590 http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov
The American Moving and Storage Association (AMSA), a national organization of more than 3,200 professional moving companies, is another excellent source of relocation information. The association’s web site contains an abundance of useful ‘‘how to’’ and other information for people planning a move, including advice on choosing a mover and getting an estimate. The AMSA web site also includes a list of Certified Moving Consultants (CMCs), who are salespeople who have signed a Code of Ethics and Professional Standards and passed a certification exam. In order to retain their CMC status, these individuals must pay annual dues and go through a re-certification ˙ made up of an process. AMSA also has a Certified Mover Program elite group of 100 movers who have agreed to maintain a required standard of service, and a list of these movers is provided at the association’s web site. A separate mover referral service is provided at the site as well.
A wealth of other information for prospective movers is also available on the Internet, ranging from lists of moving companies to tips for moving plants and pets to links to real estate listings for the destination city. Many national and worldwide moving companies also have their own websites. Sites that offer information specifically for moving and relocation, community profiles, links to local resources, demographic data, and/or other information helpful to those planning a move, include: 123relocation.com www.123relocation.com ApartmentSearch www.apartmentsearch.com
Another helpful feature on the AMSA website is a moving countdown calendar, a 60-day timetable of specific steps to be completed in preparation for a move. In addition, AMSA’s ‘‘Consumer Handbook: A Practical Guide to Interstate Moving’’ can be downloaded from the site, or a print copy can be ordered by telephone or by mail.

Rubber, the product that Akron is best known for, was introduced to the city in 1870 with the opening of Doctor Benjamin Franklin Goodrich’s rubber factory. The invention of the automobile some 30 years later greatly increased the demand for rubber, and Akron’s reputation grew as the ‘‘Rubber Capital of the World’’ In the early 1900s, the city also became the primary center for airship and dirigible construction in the world. The U.S. Navy’s dirigible that bears the city’s name was constructed there. The rubber industry has attracted many newcomers to the Akron area from the early part of the 20th Century to the present. Today, Akron is a major center for polymer research and development and remains the home of the top U.S. rubber companies.

Albuquerque, New Mexico County: Bernalillo
A
History
LBUQUERQUE is located in central New Mexico, bisected by the Rio Grande River. Major cities within 100 miles include Santa Fe, Gallup, Los Alamos, and Taos, New Mexico.
Although fossil evidence proves that the Albuquerque area was inhabited as early as the Ice Age, some 10,000 years ago, the first recorded settlers were the Anasazi Indians, who inhabited northwestern New Mexico from around 1100 until 1300 A.D. The first European settlers, led by Spaniard Francisco Vasquez de Coronado, explored the area in 1540 on a quest for the treasures of the Seven Cities of Cibola. Over the course of the next two years, Coronado’s conquistadors used a pueblo outside the present-day city of Bernalillo as their expedition headquarters. The remains of that pueblo stand today as the Coronado National Monument. Unsuccessful in his search for gold, Coronado eventually returned to Mexico in disgrace.

At the turn of the 17th Century, conquistador Don Juan de Onate visited the area and claimed the entire region for Spain, establishing El Camino Real, the main thoroughfare between Mexico City and Taos, New Mexico. Santa Fe was declared the capital of the new colony in 1610. The new Spanish settlers coexisted with the native tribes until the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, which resulted in the death of more than 400 Spaniards. Many of the remaining settlers eventually fled to El Paso, and the Indians took control of the area until 1692, when Don Diego de Vargas reclaimed the land for Spain. Once again, Spanish settlers began establishing villages, farms, ranches, and churches in the area.
* New Mexico does not have a state sales tax, instead, it has a gross receipts tax. In addition to the state gross receipts tax, Albuquerque has a 0.875% county sales tax and a 1.875% city sales tax.
Climate Albuquerque has a dry climate (humidity averages 43 percent) that features four distinct seasons. Winter days are fairly mild, with average high temperatures in the high 40s to low 50s, while evening temperatures drop into the low to mid-20s. The average annual snowfall is 11 inches. Summer days are hot, with high temperatures around 90 degrees, while evenings cool down dramatically into the high 50s to low 60s. Rainfall is rare in Albuquerque—August, with an average precipitation of less than two inches, is the wettest month.
In 1706, New Mexico’s provisional governor Don Francisco Cuervo y Valdez petitioned Spain for permission to establish a villa in the area. Spanish law dictated that 30 families were necessary to establish a villa—Cuervo, who only had a total of 18 families, falsely claimed that he had 35. To ensure that his petition was granted, he declared that the new settlement would be named Alburquerque (the extra ‘‘r’’ in the name was eventually dropped), in honor of the Duke of Alburquerque, Viceroy Francisco Fernandez de la Cueva (who happened to be responsible for preliminary approval of Cuervo’s petition). The petition was granted, and the new settlement of Albuquerque was founded. (Cuervo was eventually tried for lying on his application.) Throughout the 1700s and into the 1800s, the Territory of New Mexico remained under Spanish Rule.

During the 19th Century, New Mexico was under Mexican rule for 25 years, from the time Mexico gained independence from Spain in 1821 until the Mexican-American War, when New Mexico became a United States Territory. An American military outpost was established at Albuquerque and new residents began moving to the area from other parts of the country. Albuquerque was occupied briefly by Confederate troops during the Civil War, and eight cannons remain in the plaza today as a reminder of this event. Albuquerque grew rapidly during the remainder of the 19th Century. Thousands of new residents were drawn by the city’s economic opportunities, which were created primarily by the arrival of the railroad in 1880. By the mid-1880s, Albuquerque’s population was predominantly Anglo for the first time in the city’s history. Another factor that affected Albuquerque’s growth was the city’s dry climate. Many Americans who

In the years following World War II, the Albuquerque area began its legacy as a major high-tech research and development site with the establishment of Kirtland Air Force Base and Sandia National Laboratories. Nearby Los Alamos was also a site of the Manhattan Project, the birthplace of the world’s first atomic bomb. Home to more than 518,000 people, Albuquerque today continues to grow steadily as a center for high-tech research and development that is also rich in history and cultural diversity.

Attractions Albuquerque originated in the part of the present-day city known as Old Town. With more than 150 shops, galleries, and restaurants housed in historic adobe buildings, Old Town is a popular site for visitors to the city. Just north of the Old Town area is the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, which features arts and crafts from all 19 of New Mexico’s pueblos. The Center also houses a restaurant that specializes in Native American-style cooking. On the west side of the city is Petroglyph National Monument, with more than 17,000 ancient images representing the world’s largest accessible collection of prehistoric rock art. From downtown Albuquerque one can board the Sandia Peak Ski and Tramway, rising 2.7 miles above deep canyons to the Sandia Peak observation deck, with a panoramic view spanning some 11,000 square miles. Albuquerque is also the site of Sandia National Laboratory, a major U.S. nuclear research, development, and testing facility. Annual events in Albuquerque include the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, 51

which draws more than 700 hot-air balloons and nearly 800,000 spectators each October; and the Gathering of Nations Powwow, featuring more than 3,000 Native American singers and dancers representing more than 500 tribes from the United States and Canada.

Allentown, Pennsylvania County: Lehigh
A
city’s name was not officially changed to Allentown until the 1830s. Most of the Lehigh Valley’s early European inhabitants were Germans, whom the English referred to as Pennsylvania Dutch (derived from the German word ‘‘Deutsch’’). In 1777, during the American Revolution, the Liberty Bell was hidden in the basement of Zion’s Reformed United Church of Christ in Allentown when the British occupied Philadelphia. The Liberty Bell Shrine, a popular historical attraction in Allentown, stands today as a reminder of this event.
LLENTOWN is located in the Lehigh Valley in east central Pennsylvania. Major cities within 100 miles include Scranton, Philadelphia, and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

In 1811, Allentown was incorporated as a borough and was chosen as the county seat of the newly formed Lehigh County the following year. During the 1820s the completion of the Lehigh Canal sparked development in the area by opening up distribution routes for various industries. The Lehigh Valley’s first commercially successful iron furnace was built in 1840, and the iron industry fueled the area’s economy for the next three decades. In 1867, Allentown was incorporated as a city.
Climate
By the 1870s, many towns in the Lehigh Valley were forced to develop alternative industries as the demand for iron declined as steel became more popular. Allentown turned its efforts to silk manufacturing and by the early 1900s became known as ‘‘Silk City.’’ One iron company that continued operations was Bethlehem Iron, which produced armor plate for battleships through the late 1800s. Bethlehem Iron became Bethlehem Steel at the turn of the century, and quickly became one of the nation’s largest steel manufacturers.
Allentown has a variable climate that may feature periods of bitterly cold weather during the winter and warm, humid summers. Winter high temperatures average in the mid- to upper 30s and lows average in the high teens to low 20s. An average of 32.4 inches of snow falls in Allentown each year. Summer daytime high temperatures average in the low to mid-80s, while evenings cool down to near 60 degrees. May the wettest month in Allentown; February is the driest.
Average Temperatures & Precipitation
Allentown today is home to more than 105,000 people and remains an important industrial and commercial center in the Lehigh Valley Region.

MARILLO is located in the ‘‘panhandle’’ of northern Texas. Major cities within 300 miles include Lubbock and Abilene, Texas; Santa Fe, New Mexico; and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
nado passed through the area in search of the Seven Golden Cities of Cibola. Spanish exploration continued in the area through the 1700s, when a portion of El Camino Real was built through the area. Sheep and cattle herders from around the world were also drawn to the grazing grounds of the northern Texas plains.

In 1876, Potter County was established by the Texas Legislature, and one of the county’s earliest settlers was Colonel Charles Goodnight, inventor of the chuckwagon. Goodnight is also credited with starting the area’s cattle industry. In 1887, a new community had formed in the Texas Panhandle near a railway construction camp. Originally called ‘‘Ragtown’’ because of the buffalo hide huts that comprised the settlement, the community was soon renamed ‘‘Amarillo’’ (the Spanish word for ‘‘yellow’’) after the color of the clay deposits in a nearby creek. Amarillo became the seat of Potter County and was incorporated as a city several years later, in 1892. The arrival of various railroads helped to fuel the area’s early economy and Amarillo grew quickly as a major cattle ranching and shipping center. At the turn of the century, Amarillo was home to approximately 1,400 people; by 1910, the population had grown to nearly 10,000.
* In addition to the state sales tax, Amarillo has a 2.0% local sales tax.
Climate
Although agriculture was the mainstay of Amarillo’s early economy, the discovery of natural gas in the Texas Panhandle in 1918 and the discovery of oil in 1921 helped to fuel Amarillo’s growth and prosperity. Today, Amarillo has the largest natural gas development in the entire world, providing pipelines to many major American cities. The oil and gas industry has spawned new petrochemical industries that have helped to diversify the area’s economy. However, despite the modern industries that have helped to propel Amarillo into the 21st century, the city remains a major center for cattle feeding and ranching, as it has been since the 1800s. Many of the area’s cattle ranches have remained virtually unchanged since they were established in the 19th Century.
Amarillo has a moderate climate that features four distinct seasons and 351 days of sunshine each year. Winter days are cool, with average high temperatures near 50 degrees, while lows dip into the 20s. The average annual snowfall Amarillo is just under 16 and a half inches. Summer days are hot, with average highs around 90 degrees and evening lows cooling down into the 60s. Summer is also the wettest time of the year in Amarillo, with nearly half of the annual rainfall occurring from June through August.

Home to more than 180,000 people, Amarillo today features a unique blend of modern cityscapes and Old West charm. Located in two counties (Potter and Randall), Amarillo is the leading center for agriculture, transportation, and industry in the Texas Panhandle.

A longtime agricultural center, Amarillo draws thousands of Old West enthusiasts each year who come to visit the area’s numerous cattle ranches, many of which still function as they did when they were established more than a century ago. The Amarillo Civic Center also hosts the annual Amarillo Farm and Ranch Show, one of the largest agricultural trade shows in the United States. Located just south of Amarillo, Palo Duro Canyon State Park, the country’s second largest canyon, draws thousands of visitors each summer to experience the outdoor epic production ‘‘TEXAS.’’ Nearby also is Cadillac Ranch, where visitors can see ten Cadillacs buried nose-down in a field. Other attractions located in Amarillo include the Amarillo Zoo and Amarillo Museum of Art. Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument PO Box 1460 Fritch, TX 79036 www.nps.gov/alfl/

In 1867, Alaska, then known as ‘‘Russian America,’’ was sold to the United States for $7.2 million. During the late 1800s and early 1900s, area gold mines drew settlers to southeastern Alaska in search of fortune.
NCHORAGE is located in southeastern Alaska on the shores of Cook Inlet. Major cities within 500 miles of Anchorage include Seward, Homer, and Valdez, Alaska.

In 1915, construction of the Alaska Railroad began at Ship Creek Landing. A tent city was established at the anchorage of Ship Creek, and later that year the Anchorage Townsite Auction was held and a new community was formed. Anchorage was incorporated as a city in 1920. Early development of the city was fueled primarily by the railroad, which was completed in 1923. Initial growth was slow, but the 1940s marked a turning point in Anchorage’s history. Before the war, Anchorage was home to 3,000 people. A military construction boom, which included the creation of Elmendorf Air Force Base and Fort Richardson, began in the area during the World War II. The influx of military personnel and others drawn by opportunity led to a population explosion. By 1951, Anchorage’s population had risen to 47,000, surpassing Fairbanks to become the state’s largest city.
Climate Anchorage’s proximity to the Pacific Ocean, via Cook Inlet and the Gulf of Alaska, helps to moderate its climate from temperature extremes. Although temperatures occasionally dip below freezing during the winter months, average temperatures range from highs in the low to mid-20s to lows around 10 degrees. An average of 70.6 inches of snow falls each year in Anchorage. Summer days are mild, with average highs in the mid-60s and lows near 50 degrees. Late summer and early autumn are the wettest times of the year in Anchorage.
The discovery of oil on the Kenai Peninsula in 1957 marked another pivotal event in Anchorage’s development. Less than a decade later, in 1968, oil was discovered on the Arctic Slope of the Brooks Mountain Range. As a result, many oil companies established headquarters in Anchorage and spent millions of dollars on exploration. In 1972, construction began on the Trans-Alaska pipeline (TAP). Five years later the pipeline was completed and began transporting oil from the North Slope to the port of Valdez. The creation of the TAP also helped fuel the city’s economy and sparked phenomenal growth— by the end of the 1970s Anchorage’s population had skyrocketed to more than 184,000. At that time, more than half of the people in the entire state of Alaska lived in Anchorage.

Anchorage continued to grow and prosper throughout the remainder of the 20th Century. Today, with a population exceeding 275,000, Anchorage remains Alaska’s largest city. The city is also a major center for trade, communications, transportation, healthcare, education, and finance.

History Originally occupied by the Eskimo people as early as 3,000 B.C., settlement did not begin in southern Alaska until the late 1700s when Russian explorers established trade routes in the area. Captain James Cook was the first European to explore the region, in 1778.

Atlanta, Georgia County: Fulton
A
1843, when it was renamed Marthaville after the daughter of a former governor of Georgia. The city became known as Atlanta in 1845 and was incorporated two years later. Atlanta’s location at the hub of four railroad lines enabled it to develop quickly as a manufacturing and distribution center. During the Civil War, Atlanta was one of the leading distribution centers for the Confederacy, making it a prime target for the Union Army. The Battle of Atlanta resulted in a major victory for the Union, and the city was burned to the ground in 1864 by General William Tecumseh Sherman. Atlanta was rebuilt quickly in the years following the war, and the city became the temporary state capital in 1868 and the permanent capital of Georgia nine years later. By the turn of the century, Atlanta had become the largest city in the state.
TLANTA is located in northwestern Georgia. Major cities within 100 miles include Macon and Athens, Georgia.

Over the course of the past century, the city has become the center of one of the leading metropolitan areas in the nation. Appropriately, the City of Atlanta’s official symbol is the Phoenix, the bird of Egyptian myth that rose from the ashes with renewed strength. Home to more than 120,000 business establishments, including the corporate headquarters of 22 Fortune 1,000 companies, Atlanta today is considered the ‘‘Business Capital of the Southeast’’ and one of the top ranking business centers in the United States. Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport is the busiest airport in the entire world, serving more than 75 million passengers each year.
* In addition to the state sales tax, Atlanta also has a 3.0% local sales tax.
Climate Atlanta’s location in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains helps to protect it from extreme heat and cold. Winters are fairly mild with highs in the low to mid-50s and lows in the low to mid-30s. Summer days are very warm, with average high temperatures in the upper 80s, but evening temperatures cool down into the upper 60s. March is the wettest month of the year in Atlanta; October is the driest.
Atlanta’s plentiful economic opportunities and relatively low cost of living result in thousands of people relocating to the metro area each year. More than four million people currently reside in the Atlanta metropolitan area, more than 500,000 of whom live in the city of Atlanta. By the year 2010 the population of the metro area is expected to exceed four million.

The late 19th century was a period of rapid growth for Augusta, due to the city’s thriving tobacco and cotton industries. Augusta’s access to the Atlantic Ocean via the Savannah River helped make the city the second largest inland cotton producer in the nation. Camp Gordon was established in Augusta during World War II. The military installation drew large numbers of people to the city and surrounding area during the war, and many of the soldiers that trained at Camp Gordon returned to settle in the area once the war was over. Fort Gordon remains one of the area’s top employers.
* In addition to the state sales tax, Augusta has an additional 3.0% local sales tax.
In 1996, the City of Augusta and Richmond County consolidated governments. Today, with a population of nearly 200,000, Augusta is Georgia’s second largest city.
Climate Augusta’s climate features short, mild winters and long, hot summers. The average annual temperature is 63 degrees. Winter temperatures generally average between 40 and 50 degrees, but occasionally drop below freezing. Snow is rare. Summer daytime high temperatures often reach the upper 90s and afternoon thunderstorms are common. March is the wettest month in Augusta; November is the driest.

Attractions The second oldest city in Georgia, Augusta is part of the state’s Classic South travel region. Visitors to its historic districts can tour antebellum plantations, the Cotton Exchange that was built in 1886 as headquarters for Augusta’s cotton industry, and other historic sites dating from colonial times to the present. In downtown Augusta, on the banks of the Savannah River, is Riverwalk, which features a brick-lined esplanade, gardens, playgrounds, restaurants, shops, special events, and a variety of historical, educational, and recreational attractions. A recent addition to Riverwalk is the National Science Center Fort Discovery, which offers more than 250 hands-on activities, including opportunities to experience walking on the moon and flying a high-performance jet. The river is also the city’s main attraction for boating events. Augusta also plays host to the world-famous Masters Tournament each April, and the Georgia Golf Hall of Fame and Botanical Gardens, features a museum and interactive exhibits honoring the game’s finest players.

Austin, Texas County: Travis
A
USTIN is located in Travis County in central Texas along the banks of the Colorado River. Cities within 100 miles of Austin include San Antonio and Waco, Texas.
ber 1839, the city was incorporated as the capital of the Republic of Texas and renamed for Texas Revolution hero Stephen F. Austin, who is sometimes referred to as the ‘‘Father of Texas.’’ The original State Capitol Building was destroyed by fire in 1881, and the building erected in its place is Austin’s most important historic landmark. Considered by Texans a tribute to Texas pride, the State Capitol Building is not only the tallest of its 49 counterparts, but it is also seven feet taller than the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC.

Until the 1960s, Austin’s economy revolved around the state government and the University of Texas, which remain two of the area’s major employers today. In 1967, IBM opened a plant in Austin, and many high technology companies followed. With new job opportunities came new residents, more than doubling Austin’s population in the 25 years between 1970 and 1995. With a population of more than 740,000 people, Austin today is the 16th largest city in the United States.
* In addition to the state sales tax, Austin has a 2.0% local sales tax.

Bakersfield, California County: Kern

AKERSFIELD is located in the southern San Joaquin Valley in central California. It is surrounded by three mountain ranges: the Sierra Nevadas, the Tehachapis, and the Temblor Range. Cities within 150 miles include Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, and Fresno, California.
Baker, planted alfalfa on a parcel of his land for weary travelers to rest and let their animals graze. The discovery of gold in 1851 and oil in 1865 sparked the development of Bakersfield. These discoveries attracted settlers from many different cultures, including French, Basques, Chinese, Italians, Greeks, and Portuguese, all of whom contributed to the development of the city. Agriculture and oil remain among the area’s largest industries today. In fact, Kern County is currently the leading oil-producing county in the continental United States and consistently ranks among the nation’s top agriculture producing counties. The county seat of Kern County, Bakersfield is the 13th largest city in California.

History
ALTIMORE is located in northern Maryland at the head of navigation of the Patapsco River, which empties into the western portion of the Chesapeake Bay. Major cities within 100 miles include Washington, DC; Wilmington, Delaware; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Originally inhabited by Native Americans of the Susquehannock tribe, the Baltimore area was first settled by Europeans in 1661. The town of Baltimore was founded in 1729 and named for the founder of the Colony of Maryland, Lord Baltimore. The town grew quickly as a center for international trade (with tobacco as the primary export) and industry, including flour milling and shipbuilding. During the American Revolution, Baltimore served as a major supply center, and the Continental Congress met in the town after fleeing the British. The town’s population tripled between 1760 and 1780. In 1797, Baltimore was incorporated as a city.

Shortly after the turn of the 19th Century, a fire destroyed a large portion of Baltimore. In the years that followed, the city was rebuilt and hosted several Whig presidential conventions. In 1814, Baltimore’s Fort McHenry became the site of the Battle of Baltimore, during which Francis Scott Key was inspired to compose ‘‘The Star Spangled Banner.’’ Over the course of the next 14 years, Baltimore became a city of firsts—the first museum building in the country, the Peale Museum, was built there in 1814; the first gaslights in the world were installed in the city in 1817; the nation’s first umbrella factory was established there; and the nation’s first railroad, the Baltimore & Ohio (B&O) was founded in Baltimore in 1828.
Climate Baltimore has a changeable climate that is modified by the city’s proximity to the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Appalachian Mountains to the west. Winters are generally cold, with average high temperatures in the mid- to high 40s and average lows near 30 degrees. The average annual snowfall for Baltimore is approximately 21 inches. Summer days are very warm, with high temperatures in the near 90 degrees, while evenings cool down to near 70. Precipitation in Baltimore is fairly evenly distributed throughout the year.
During the Civil War, the city’s sympathies were divided between the Union and the Confederacy, but it was Pro-Confederate sentiment that led Baltimore to become the site of the first bloodshed of the war in April 1861, when the Sixth Massachusetts Regiment attacked and killed 16 residents as the troops passed through the city en route to Washington. After the war ended, Baltimore prospered during the remainder of the 19th Century. During that time several major educational and cultural institutions were established in the city, including the Peabody Institute, the Walters Art Gallery, and Johns Hopkins University, which is one of the nation’s leading centers for medical research.

In 1904, the Great Fire, much like the one that occurred a century earlier, destroyed much of Baltimore’s downtown area. With the financial support of Andrew Carnegie and the State of Maryland, the city once again rebuilt itself. Over the course of the 20th Century, Baltimore has remained an important port city and has become one of the nation’s leading centers for research and development, primarily in the fields of aquaculture, pharmaceuticals, and medicine. Today, with a population of more than 637,000, Baltimore is the largest city in Maryland and the 18th largest city in the United States.

Attractions The heart of the seaport city of Baltimore is the Inner Harbor area, which features shops, restaurants, and festivals, as well as cultural attractions such as the Baltimore Maritime Museum, National Aquarium, and the Maryland Science Center. Baltimore also has six public markets, including Lexington Market, the nation’s oldest continuously operating market. Baltimore’s colleges and universities include Johns Hopkins University, a major center of medical research. Baltimore is also the home of Fort McHenry, where a battle in 1814 inspired Francis Scott Key to compose ‘‘The Star-Spangled Banner.’’ Other attractions in the city include the former homes of two of Baltimore’s most famous residents, macabre storyteller Edgar Allen Poe and baseball legend Babe Ruth. Nearby Annapolis is the capital of Maryland and the home of the U.S. Naval Academy. The city’s National Historic Landmark District reflects its colonial beginnings, with many of its historic homes and other landmarks now used as shops and stores. Annapolis is situated at the confluence of Chesapeake Bay and the Severn River, and its City Dock is a popular site for visitors. Historic homes and other landmarks, food, and entertainment all are within convenient walking distance.

Birmingham, Alabama County: Jefferson
B
the turn of the century, Tennessee Coal and Iron began producing steel in Birmingham, and the industry began drawing large numbers of people to the area. Steel and iron manufacturing continued to play a major role in Birmingham’s economy during the the 20th Century, with the city acting as one of the United States’ rearmament centers during World War II.
IRMINGHAM is located in the Appalachian Ridge and Valley Region in north central Alabama. Major cities within 100 miles of Birmingham include Montgomery, Huntsville, and Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

The city of Birmingham also played a key role in the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960’s as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and other civil rights leaders fought to bring an end to segregation by organizing peaceful demonstrations at lunch counters and other public places. In mid-1963, Dr. King wrote his historic ‘‘Letter From Birmingham Jail.’’ Later that same year, the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church was bombed during Sunday morning services, killing four young girls. National media coverage of this event and of Birmingham police attacks on the peaceful demonstrators saddened and outraged the country. The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, and other Birmingham landmarks are lasting reminders to the efforts of Dr. King and his fellow civil rights leaders.
* In addition to the state sales tax, the City of Birmingham also has a 3.0% city sales tax and Jefferson County has a 2.0% county sales tax.

to protect the new settlers from the Indians, and the city of Boise was established adjacent to the fort. Boise was incorporated the following year and chosen as the capital of the Idaho Territory.
OISE is located along the banks of the Boise River in southwestern Idaho. Major cities within 100 miles include Nampa and Caldwell, Idaho.
Boise grew quickly during its early years, both as a center for gold mining and as a center for commerce—the city was a major thoroughfare along the Oregon Trail, which ran from Missouri to Oregon. Other factors that prompted Boise’s growth throughout the years include economic opportunities brought about by improved irrigation in the valley and the construction of the Arrowrock Dam during the early 20th Century; the coming of the Union Pacific Railroad in 1925; the massive influx of Basque immigrants from Europe during the 1930s; and the new military presence that came to the area during World War II with the development of Gowen Field Air Force Base.

History Originally inhabited by the Shoshone people, the Boise area was first settled by Europeans in 1834 with the establishment of Fort Boise (originally located some 40 miles from the present day city of Boise). Frequent attacks by the Indians led to the abandonment of Fort Boise in 1854, but eight years later, gold was discovered in the Boise Basin and pioneers were drawn to the area by the possibility of fortune. In 1863, a new Fort Boise was established by the U.S. Military 153

During the 1770s, Boston was the site of numerous historical events, beginning with the Boston Massacre in March 1770. The Boston Tea Party took place in Boston Harbor in 1773. The first shots signaling the beginning of the American Revolution were fired at nearby Lexington and Concord in April 1775, and the Battle of Bunker Hill was fought in Charlestown in July of that year. In March 1776, the British withdrew their troops from Boston, marking the end of the Revolution. Twelve years later, in 1788, Boston was chosen as the capital of Massachusetts.
OSTON is located in eastern Massachusetts on the Atlantic Coast. Cities within 100 miles include Worcester and Springfield, Massachusetts; Providence, Rhode Island; and Hartford, Connecticut.

Attractions Boston’s Freedom Trail winds throughout the city, beginning at Boston Common and ending in Charlestown at the Bunker Hill Monument. Along the Trail are Paul Revere’s home, Old North Church, King’s Chapel (the nation’s first public school), the USS Constitution (‘‘Old Ironsides’’), and the Old South Meeting House, where patriots gathered before launching the Boston Tea Party. Also on the Trail, at the Boston Waterfront, are the Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market areas. Other areas of interest in Boston include Beacon Hill, Copley Square, and Harvard University, which is located in the suburb of Cambridge. Boston is also a travel gateway to Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, and Cape Cod. The Boston Marathon is held in the city each April.

History
EXAS’ southernmost city, Brownsville is located in the lower Rio Grande Valley along the U.S.-Mexican border. Major cities within 100 miles include Harlingen and McAllen, Texas; and Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico.
The Brownsville region was originally settled in the early 1800s as part of the Mexican community of San Juan de los Esteros (known today as Matamoros), which is located across the Rio Grande. In 1836, Texas declared its independence from Mexico. A decade later, the Brownsville area became the site of a temporary fort established by United States military troops led by General Zachary Taylor during the Mexican American War. Originally called Fort Texas, the post was later renamed Fort Brown after its post commander, Major Jacob Brown. After the war ended in 1848, the area became part of the State of Texas, and the city of Brownsville was established. The new city became the seat of Cameron County in 1849, and four years later Brownsville was incorporated as a city.

Located on the Rio Grande, Brownsville quickly became an important transportation and trade center. The area drew merchants from around the world, many of whom took advantage of the city’s proximity to Mexico, shipping goods to the south Texas city and then smuggling them across the river to avoid paying Mexican duties. Later, ranching and farming became important to the development of Brownsville. By the turn of the century, Brownsville was home to 6,000 people. The arrival of the railroad in the early 1900s prompted rapid growth for the city. During the 1920s, a land boom drew people from other parts of the United States, and by 1930 Brownsville’s population exceeded 22,000.
* In addition to the state sales tax, Brownsville has a 2.0% local sales tax.
Climate Brownsville has a semi-tropical climate with an average annual temperature of 74 degrees. Winters are mild, with average high temperatures near 70 degrees and lows around 50. Although summers are very warm in Brownsville, with average high temperatures in the low degrees and lows in the mid 70s, the city’s proximity to the Gulf of Mexico helps protect Brownsville from extreme heat. Brownsville is considered Texas’ sunniest city, with an average of 230 days of sunshine annually. September is the wettest month in Brownsville, while March is the driest.
During the 1930s a 17-mile ship channel was completed between the city and the Brazos Santiago Pass, and in 1936 the Port of Brownsville opened. In 1949 the ship channel was widened and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway was extended to Brownsville. Another pivotal event in Brownsville’s history was the implementation of the Twin Plant Program (also known as the Maquiladora Program) in 1965, which allowed companies from the U.S. and other countries to establish production facilities in Mexico. Goods involved in this program are not subject to duty until they re-enter the U.S. market, at which point they are subject only to the product’s value-added content. Hundreds of industrial firms took advantage of the Twin Plant Program, creating thousands of jobs in the Brownsville area in the latter part of the 20th Century. As a result, the city’s population exploded, nearly quadrupling from 1960 to the present day. The Brownsville/Matamoros area has become the one of the largest Maquiladora production centers in the U.S.

today as Buffalo Creek as a ‘‘beau fleuve’’ (meaning ‘‘beautiful river’’). Early settlers who did not speak French pronounced the phrase ‘‘beau fleuve’’ as ‘‘boof-loo,’’ and from this pronunciation the name Buffalo was derived. In 1780, members of the Seneca tribe established the first village in the Buffalo area. The first European settlement was established there by the Holland Land Company in 1803.

Much of Buffalo was burned by the British during the War of 1812, but the community was quickly rebuilt and was incorporated as a village in 1816. Less than a decade later, in 1825, Buffalo became the western terminus of the newly opened Erie Canal, and this marked the beginning of a major era of growth. Buffalo was incorporated as a city in 1832 and, with its access to the Midwest and to Canada, quickly became a major trade and distribution center. Buffalo’s reputation as a leading flour milling center began in 1843 with the creation of the world’s first steam-powered grain elevator in the city. Today Buffalo is among the world’s leading flour producers. With the area’s access to raw materials, along with the development of hydroelectric generators at nearby Niagara Falls during the late 1800s, industry flourished in Buffalo, creating economic opportunities that attracted settlers of various ethnic backgrounds, including Irish, Germans, and Poles.
* In addition to the state income tax, Buffalo has a 4.0% local sales tax.
Climate Buffalo’s climate features four distinct seasons. Winters are long and snowy, with average high temperatures in the low 30s and lows in the high teens and low 20s. An average of 93.6 inches of snow falls at the Buffalo Airport annually. Summers are mild and sunny, with average daytime highs in the mid- to upper 70s and evening lows averaging near 60 degrees. Precipitation is fairly evenly distributed throughout the year, however August is typically the wettest month in Buffalo; February is the driest.
Buffalo continued to thrive as an industrial center until well into the 20th Century, but industrial decline in the late 1970s and early 1980s influenced Buffalo to diversify its economic base. Although the city suffered hard economic times during those years, Buffalo has bounced back with a stronger, more diverse economy, and it remains one of the nation’s leading inland ports. Buffalo currently has more than 270,000 residents, making it New York’s second largest city.

Economy
Classic Buffalo www.classicbuffalo.com
Although trade and manufacturing remain important components of Buffalo’s economy, other industries, including finance and healthcare, have gained significance in recent years. Major corporations that have a presence in the Buffalo region include General Motors, Ford, and Verizon Communications. Educational and health services has become one of the Buffalo metropolitan area’s largest employment sectors. Government is also vital to Buffalo’s economy. The area’s three largest employers—New York State Government, the U.S. Government, Erie County—are government-related.

Attractions Located at the eastern end of Lake Erie, Buffalo is ringed with 3,000 acres of parks, including the Buffalo Zoological Gardens and the Buffalo and Erie County Naval and Military Park, the nation’s only inland naval park. However, the best-known area attraction is spectacular Niagara Falls, including the view of Goat Island, which separates the American and Canadian falls. The neighboring Great Lakes create a snow belt that provides top skiing conditions in the Greater Niagara area throughout the winter season. Ice fishing is also popular, and the Erie and Chatauqua Lakes are known as some of the best spots for the sport.

HARLESTON is located on a peninsula between the Ashley and Cooper Rivers along the Atlantic Coast of central South Carolina. Cities within 100 miles include Columbia, South Carolina and Savannah, Georgia.
The seaport city grew quickly with its successful cotton and tobacco trade and religious tolerance laws, which guaranteed residents the freedom to choose any spiritual belief. In addition to trade, agriculture also helped fuel the city’s early economy, with rice, cotton, and indigo as the primary crops. Charles Towne prospered during the 18th Century. The nation’s oldest continually operating chamber of commerce was established in Charles Towne in 1773.

Sometimes referred to as the ‘‘Holy City’’ Charleston features dozens of historic churches that stand as a testament to the large numbers of immigrants of various religious backgrounds, including French Huguenots, Irish, Germans, and Sephardic Jews, who came to the city seeking religious freedom. Other historic buildings in Charleston have served as a backdrop for scenes in such famous films as ‘‘Gone With the Wind’’ and ‘‘North and South.’’ Charles Towne was renamed Charleston and incorporated as a city in 1783.
* In addition to the state sales tax, Charleston has a 1.5% county sales tax.
In 1787, Charleston resident Charles Pickney was the first to propose the addition of a ‘‘Bill of Rights’’ to the U.S. Constitution. He was also among three Charlestonians who signed the famous document. In 1861 Fort Sumter, located in Charleston Harbor, was fired upon, marking the beginning of the Civil War. The war devastated Charleston, as have numerous hurricanes (including Hurricane Hugo in 1989), earthquakes, fires, floods, and tornadoes over the years. Through it all, the city has managed to maintain its historic Southern charm that draws more than four million visitors to the area each year.
Climate Charleston has a temperate to subtropical climate. Winters are generally mild, with daytime high temperatures averaging near 60 degrees and nighttime lows in the low 40s; snowfall is rare. Summers are hot and humid, with daytime highs averaging in the high 80s. The average humidity for the area is 86 percent at 6 a.m. Summer is also the rainy season in Charleston, with August and September being the wettest months. November is the driest month of the year in Charleston.

History
HARLOTTE is located in southern North Carolina’s Piedmont region. Major cities within 100 miles include Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and Raleigh, North Carolina; and Greenville and Spartanburg, South Carolina.
The first European settlers in the Charlotte area, which was previously inhabited by the Catawba Indians, were hard-working people of Scotch-Irish decent who developed a small farming community that they named Charlotte in honor of Queen Charlotte, the wife of King George III of England. (Mecklenburg County was also named in her honor, after her German home town.) Charlotte was incorporated as a city in 1768 with a population of 276. During the Revolutionary War, Charlotte was referred to as a ‘‘veritable nest of hornets’’ by General Cornwallis, whose British troops chose to abandon the city after occupying it for less than three weeks due to constant attacks by Charlotte residents. This historical reference eventually led to the name of the city’s professional basketball team, the Charlotte Hornets.

The discovery of gold in nearby Cabarrus County at the turn of the 19th Century aided the development of the region. In 1837 a branch of the U.S. Mint was established in Charlotte (the Mint ceased operation in 1913 and was reopened 23 years later as North Carolina’s first art museum), and today the city is the nation’s second largest financial center and the corporate home of First Union and BankAmerica. The textile industry, for which Charlotte is also well-known, began there in the 19th Century with the invention of the cotton gin. The arrival of the railroad further enhanced Charlotte’s potential to become a major transportation and distribution center. By the early 1900s, half of the nation’s cotton mills were located within 100 miles of Charlotte and today the city remains an international leader in cotton yarn and textile production.
* In addition to the state sales tax, Mecklenburg County also has a 3.0% local sales tax.
Climate Charlotte has a moderate climate with four distinct seasons. Winters are fairly mild, as the mountains shelter the area from extreme cold. Winter high temperatures average in the low to mid-50s, with lows in the low 30s. Snowfall is infrequent in Charlotte, averaging only five and a half inches annually. Summers are long and warm, with average daytime high temperatures near 90 degrees; evenings cool down to near 70. Precipitation is evenly distributed throughout the year in Charlotte, although March tends to be the wettest month and April the driest.
Charlotte has enjoyed continuous growth and prosperity throughout the 20th Century and into the new millinneum. With a population exceeding 671,000, Charlotte is the largest city in the Carolinas and one of the leading financial, transportation, and business centers in the United States.

Economy
Hello Charlotte www.hellocharlotte.com
A leading financial and industrial center for over a century, Charlotte has a strong and diverse economic base that ranges from agriculture to high finance. Two of the nation’s five largest banks, Bank of America and Wachovia are headquartered in Charlotte. In addition to the financial institutions that call Charlotte their corporate home, other major U.S. companies have a presence in the Charlotte area include IBM, Philip Morris, and AT & T. A majority of Mecklenburg County residents are employed in service positions. Government also plays a vital role in Charlotte’s economy—half of the area’s 10 largest employers are government-related—among them North Carolina State Government and the U.S. Government.

Chattanooga, Tennessee County: Hamilton
C
rock.’’ During the early 19th Century, the establishment of a trading post called Ross’s Landing by the leader of the Cherokee nation, Chief John Ross, and the creation of the Brainerd Mission helped the Chattanooga area become an educational and cultural center for the Cherokee Indians. In 1838, white settlers drove the Cherokees out of Ross’s Landing, sending them to Oklahoma along the infamous ‘‘Trail of Tears,’’ upon which 25 percent of the tribe perished. The new settlement, named Chattanooga, grew quickly as a port city on the Tennessee River. During the 1850’s rail transportation began in Chattanooga, and the city became one of the most important railroad centers in the South. Many Civil War battles were fought in Chattanooga in 1863, including the Battle of Chickamauga, the Battle of Lookout Mountain (‘‘Battle Above the Clouds’’), and the Battle of Missionary Ridge. The city is filled with sites that commemorate Chattanooga’s Civil War history, including Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, Chattanooga National Cemetery, and Lookout Mountain.
HATTANOOGA is located in the Tennessee River Valley in southeastern Tennessee just north of the Georgia border. Major cities within 100 miles include Knoxville, Tennessee; Atlanta, Georgia; and Huntsville, Alabama.

During the early part of the 20th Century, Chattanooga became famous as a railroad hub with the opening of Chattanooga’s Terminal Station, sometimes referred to as the Chattanooga Choo-Choo, in 1909. In 1941, the same year that the song, ‘‘Chattanooga Choo-Choo’’ became a hit, the city became the geographic center of the seven-state region served by the Tennessee Valley Authority’s power operations. TVA remains one of Chattanooga’s largest employers, providing jobs for more than 1,000 area residents.
Climate Chattanooga has a moderate climate with cool winters and hot summers. Winter high temperatures average around 50 degrees and lows average around 30 degrees. Snowfall is minimal, averaging less than five inches annually. Summer daytime high temperatures average in the upper 80s, but evenings cool down into the upper 60s. Afternoon thunderstorms help to moderate the summer heat. March is the wettest month in Chattanooga; October is the driest.
The 1960s were difficult years for Chattanooga, filled with racial conflicts, high unemployment, and general urban decline. In 1990, 21 years after being dubbed the ‘‘worst polluted city in America,’’ Chattanooga was recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency at the nation’s best environmental turn-around story. More recently, Chattanooga has been undergoing a major revitalization that has resulted in improvements in every facet of life in the city. The ‘‘new’’ Chattanooga features better schools, safer neighborhoods, environment-friendly manufacturing and industrial development, and a renewed riverfront, complete with public parks, walking trails, and the $54 million Tennessee Aquarium that has generated hundreds of millions of dollars for the city’s economy.

Seven states can be seen from Rock City Gardens (named for its unusual rock formations), which is just one of several attractions on Lookout Mountain. Others include Ruby Falls, a 145-foot underground waterfall in a cavern in the heart of the mountain; the Incline Railway, which offers rides up and down the mountain and has a 72.7 percent grade near the top; and Point Park, located on the mountain’s crest overlooking Chattanooga. In the city itself, in the center of Ross’s Landing Park and Plaza, is the Tennessee Aquarium, the world’s first freshwater aquarium. The railroad terminal-turnedvacation complex, the Chattanooga Choo Choo/Holiday Inn Complex, which includes restaurants, shops, sleeping rooms in railroad cars, a convention center, a trolley, gardens, and a largest-of-its-kind model railroad exhibit, stands as a reminder of Chattanooga’s history as a railroad hub.

History
HICAGO is located in northeastern Illinois along the shores of Lake Michigan. Major cities within 100 miles include Milwaukee, Wisconsin and South Bend, Indiana.
Originally inhabited by the Sauk, Mesquakie, and Potawatomi tribes, the Chicago area was first explored by Jacques Marquette and Louis Joliet in 1673. At the time, the area was called ‘‘Checagou,’’ a Native American phrase meaning wild onion, because of the abundance of wild onions that grew in the area. The first permanent settlement was established more than a century later, in 1779, by a Haitian fur trader named Jean Baptiste Point du Sable. Fort Dearborn was built by the U.S. Army in 1804 to protect the waterways in the area. The fort was destroyed Native Americans during the War of 1812, but was rebuilt in 1816.

The Chicago area began to grow rapidly after the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825. In 1837, Chicago was incorporated as a city with a population of 4,000. Chicago grew as an important trade center in the mid-19th Century, due in large part to the completion of the Illinois-Michigan Canal, which linked Lake Michigan, the Great Lakes, and the Mississippi River system in 1848; and the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869, which linked Chicago with San Francisco. The opening of the Union Stockyard in 1865 also helped to fuel the city’s economy.
* In addition to the state sales tax, Chicago also has an additional city sales tax of 1.25%, a county sales tax of 1.75%, plus an RTA sales tax of 1.0%.
Climate
Immigrants from many different cultures, including Germans, Irish, Scandinavians, Italians, Poles, Czechs, Serbs, Russians, and Lithuanians, moved to Chicago seeking economic opportunities, and Chicago’s diverse heritage is evident today in its many ethnic neighborhoods and cultural attractions. The Great Fire of 1871 that devastated nearly one-third of the city temporarily hampered the city’s growth. The area damaged by fire was quickly rebuilt, and by the turn of the 20th Century, Chicago’s population exceeded one million.
Chicago has a continental climate that is moderated by Lake Michigan. Winters are cold, with average temperatures in the 20s and an annual snowfall average of 38.5 inches. The cold winds off Lake Michigan have earned Chicago its famous nickname, ‘‘The Windy City.’’ Summers are warm, with daytime highs averaging in the low 80s and nighttime low temperatures averaging in the low 60s. Thunderstorms occur frequently in the summer. Skies are typically cloudy or partly cloudy year-round due to the ‘‘lake effect’’ caused by Lake Michigan. Areas lying close to Lake Michigan tend to be cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter than inland areas.
Over the course of the last century, Chicago has continued to grow as a financial, industrial, educational and cultural center, boasting two of the world’s three largest futures exchanges, several of the nation’s top universities and business schools, and a number of world-renowned performing arts companies and museums. Chicago today, with a population of more than 2.8 million, is the third largest city in the United States.

Attractions Chicago is composed of many diverse neighborhoods, each offering different types of attractions. Its excellence in the arts is reflected in The Loop/Downtown area, which is home to the Chicago Architectural Foundation’s Archicenter, Art Institute, Chicago Symphony, and many theaters. Along Lake Shore Drive one can visit the Museum of Science and Industry’s thousands of exhibits demonstrating scientific principles and technical advances. The Chicago Cubs’ Wrigley Field and the Lincoln Park Zoo are located in the Lincoln Park area. With its many department stores, North Michigan Avenue is known as ‘‘The Magnificent Mile’’ of shopping. One of the oldest art fairs in America is held in the Old Town area each summer. The world’s largest marketplace, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and the world’s largest oceanarium/aquarium, the John G. Shedd Aquarium, and Navy Pier are also popular sites to visit. Just twenty minutes from Chicago is the Village of Oak Brook, which features the renowned architectural style of Frank Lloyd Wright. 235

With the introduction of steam navigation on the Ohio River in the early 1800s and the opening of the Miami Canal in 1827, the shipping industry prospered in Cincinnati. Railroads were introduced to the area in 1843, further increasing the city’s accessibility, Cincinnati grew quickly as a manufacturing and distribution center. Many Germans were drawn to the area’s beauty, which was reminiscent of the Rhine Valley. The city’s German heritage is evident in Cincinnati today, with more than 20 percent of Cincinnati’s current population of German origin. By the late 1800s, Cincinnati was the nation’s eighth largest city. The city continued to grow rapidly during much of the 20th Century—in the years between 1910 and 1960, the city’s population jumped from 363,591 to more than 500,000. Although the population has declined in recent years, Cincinnati remains an important center for manufacturing and trade.
* In addition to the state sales tax, Cincinnati has a 1.0% local sales tax.
Climate Cincinnati has a continental climate with cold winters and warm summers. Winter high temperatures average around 40 degrees and lows average in the mid-20s. Average annual snowfall is just over 23 inches. Summer daytime temperatures average in the mid-80s, while evenings cool down into the 60s. Most precipitation falls during the spring and summer months; summer thunderstorms are common.

Attractions The riverfront city of Cincinnati serves as the home port of some of the only remaining overnight paddlewheel boats. The home of the Cincinnati Reds, The Great American Ball Park, is also located on the riverfront. Paramount’s Kings Island, the largest theme and water park in the Midwest, is also located in Cincinnati. Kings Island features more than 80 rides and attractions, including WaterWorks, the 30-acre water park. The Roebling Suspension Bridge on the Ohio River (built by John A. Roebling, who later built the Brooklyn Bridge) connects Cincinnati with Kentucky. Just east of the bridge is Covington, Kentucky, which features antebellum homes. 249

posts during the 18th Century. The city itself was founded in 1796 by General Moses Cleaveland (after whom the city was named—the ‘‘a’’ was later dropped from the name), who was sent to survey the area for the Connecticut Land Company. Early growth in Cleveland was slow, but the opening of the Ohio Canal in 1832 stimulated commercial development in the area, and the city was incorporated four years later.

By the mid-19th Century, Cleveland had become an important commercial center, and the city’s easy access to iron ore from the Lake Superior region and coal from Kentucky and West Virginia led to the development of numerous industries, including oil refining and steel production. During the Civil War, Cleveland served as an important manufacturing center for machinery, ships, and other war-related items. New industry in Cleveland created economic opportunities that drew large numbers of new settlers to the area— by 1910, Cleveland’s population had grown from around 17,000 in 1850 to more than 500,000.
* In addition to the state sales tax, Cleveland has a local 1.0% sales tax, plus a 1.0% transit tax.
Racial tension, fires caused by industrial dumping, and economic decline plagued Cleveland during the mid-20th Century, resulting in a dramatic decline in the city’s population. In recent years, however, Cleveland has taken steps to rebuild the city itself and its economy. Recent projects and improvements include a renovation of the city’s lakefront area and the opening of two major attractions, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and the Great Lakes Science Center. With a population of more than 430,000, Cleveland today is Ohio’s second largest city.
Climate Cleveland’s climate is moderated by its location on Lake Erie. Winters are cold and overcast with average high temperatures in the mid-30s and lows in the high teens to mid-20s. The average annual snowfall in Cleveland is just under 57 inches. Summer days are warm, with average high temperatures in the high 70s to low 80s, while evening low temperatures cool down to around 60 degrees. June is the wettest month in Cleveland, while January is the driest.

Palmer. Palmer’s dream was to establish a city of temperance, unlike those typical of the Old West, that would be the most attractive place in the West with its spectacular scenery and mild climate. The following year, Palmer laid out his new community at the base of majestic Pike’s Peak, fashioned after his native Tudor England (the new town was often referred to as ‘‘Little London,’’ due to its resemblance to General Palmer’s home town). Originally called Fountain Colony, the community’s name was eventually changed to Colorado Springs.

The discovery of gold in nearby Cripple Creek in 1891 led to nearly two decades of financial prosperity and growth in the area. Colorado Springs became known as the ‘‘City of Millionaires’’ when prospectors who had made their fortunes in the gold mines built extravagant homes in the city. When the demand for gold declined in the early 1900s, the city focused on tourism to help revive the economy. In 1915, local businessman Spencer Penrose decided to capitalize on the rise of the automobile era by building a road to the top of Pike’s Peak. The following year, he built the famous Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs, which remains one of the leading hotels in the United States today.
* In addition to the state sales tax, Colorado Springs also has a county sales tax rate of 1.0% and a city sales tax rate of 2.5%.
Climate Colorado Springs has a temperate dry climate. Winters are cold, with average high temperatures in the low to mid-40s and average lows in the mid-teens. The mountains to the west of the city protect the area from major heavy snowfalls—the average annual snowfall total is approximately 42 inches. Summer days are warm, with average high temperatures in the low 80s, while evenings cool down dramatically into the low to mid-50s. Summer is the wettest time of the year in Colorado Springs and winterw is the driest.
In addition to its popularity as a leading tourist destination, Colorado Springs is also known for its military presence. In 1942, Camp Carson (now Fort Carson) was the first military base established in the area. (Fort Carson today is Colorado Springs’ largest employer, providing jobs for more than 15,000 area residents.) In 1954, Colorado Springs was chosen as the site for the United States Air Force Academy, which began offering classes four years later. Other military operations in the Colorado Springs area include the North American Air Defense Command (NORAD), Peterson Air Force Base, and Schriever Air Force Base.

Attractions In 1893, a trip to the summit of Pikes Peak inspired Katharine Lee Bates to write the words to ‘‘America the Beautiful.’’ The 14,110-foot peak, located just outside Colorado Springs, is accessible today by car, cog railway, or hiking path. The region’s natural beauty is evident also in the Cave of the Winds, the Garden of the Gods, and the Royal Gorge Bridge area. Buckskin Joe Frontier Town and Railway, an Old West theme park, has often been used as a movie set, and the ProRodeo Hall of Fame chronicles the history of America’s original sport. Other attractions in the area include the Cheyenne Mountain Zoological Park, the 46-room Miramont Castle, and the Manitou Cliff Dwellings Museum, a prehistoric Indian preserve located in Manitou Springs.

city, but tensions between coastal settlers and inland settlers led the state to move the capital to the geographic center of the state.) Columbia’s first state house, designed by John Hoban, bore a striking resemblance to the White House in Washington, DC, also designed by Hoban. Columbia thrived as a major center for cotton production during the 1800s, and was home to 8,000 people by the start of the Civil War. Much of the city of Columbia, including the original State Capitol Building was destroyed in February 1865 when the city was set afire by Union soldiers. The present State Capitol Building was under construction when the city was burned, and bronze stars have been placed on the building to indicate the marks left by General Sherman’s cannons.

Columbia’s residents worked diligently to rebuild the city following the Civil War, and by the early 1900s the new Columbia included a public school system, an African-American college (Allen University), nine railroad lines, and new industry spawned by fertilizer factories and textile mills that drew people to the area. World War I brought the creation of Camp Jackson (named for Andrew Jackson) to the area in 1917, and within a year, 70,000 U.S. troops were training at the base. Renamed Fort Jackson during World War II, the military installation remains the U.S. Army’s largest initial entry training center and is one of the area’s top employers.
Climate Columbia has a temperate inland climate with four distinct seasons. Winters are generally mild with average high temperatures near 60 degrees, average lows around 40, and minimal snowfall. Summers are hot and humid with daytime high temperatures in the low to mid-90s and lows around 70. Thunderstorms are common during the summer months; June and July are the wettest months of the year; April and October are the driest.
Columbia has been South Carolina’s largest city since 1950, and the city has continued to grow as an industrial, financial, and transportation center. Columbia today is home to more than 124,000 people.

recreation area for residents and visitors alike, with more than 540 miles of shoreline. Among the many antebellum historic homes and churches in Columbia is the First Baptist Church where the first secession convention opened in 1860. The State Capitol Building was still under construction when Union soldiers burned the city during the Civil War, and bronze stars have been placed on the building to indicate the marks left by General Sherman’s cannons. Another historic site in Columbia is the Mann-Simons Cottage, a cottage built by Cecilia Mann, a black slave who bought her freedom and walked to Columbia. Not far from the city is Fort Jackson (named for Andrew Jackson), the U.S. Army’s largest initial entry training center. Carolina Coliseum 701 Assembly St Columbia, SC 29201

History
OLUMBUS is located in central Ohio. Major cities within 100 miles include Akron, Cincinnati, and Dayton, Ohio.
Originally settled by various Indian tribes known as Mound Builders for the earthen mounds they built along the banks of the Scioto River and Alum Creek, the area surrounding present-day Columbus was first developed in 1787 when Lucas Sullivant established the town of Franklinton on the west bank of the Scioto. In 1812, the newly formed state of Ohio decided to move the state capitol from Chillicothe, in southern Ohio, to a more central location. Columbus was established on the east bank of the Scioto, across from Franklinton (which was eventually absorbed by the new city), to serve as the state capital. By 1816, when the original state capitol building was completed, Columbus was home to 700 residents.

During the 1800s, new developments in transportation routes in Columbus, including the completion of a canal that linked the city to the Erie Canal, the National Road (U.S. Route 40) passing through the area, and the introduction of railroads, opened the door to the rest of the country, helping the area to grow as a major transportation, manufacturing, and distribution center. Columbus was incorporated as a city in 1834 with 5,000 residents. The city’s population more than tripled in the following two decades. During the Civil War, Columbus served as a stop along the infamous Underground Railroad, and the city was also home to Camp Chase, a major Union Army induction/training center and prison. In the late 1800s, Columbus became known as the ‘‘Buggy Capital of the World,’’ as more than 20,000 horse-drawn vehicles were produced by Columbus’ nearly two dozen local manufacturers.
* In addition to the state sales tax, Columbus has a 1.0% county sales tax.
Climate Columbus has a changeable climate that is influenced by cold air masses coming down from Canada and warm air masses coming up from the Gulf of Mexico. Winters are typically cold, with high temperatures averaging near 40 degrees, lows in the low 20s and an average annual snowfall of nearly 28 inches. Summer days are warm with high temperatures generally in the low to mid-80s, but evenings cool down to the low 60s. May through August is the wettest time of the year in Columbus, while February and October are the driest months of the year.
The city’s population surged between 1880 and 1900, and by the year 1910 Columbus was home to nearly 200,000 people. The city continued to grow throughout the 20th Century, due in large part to its diverse economic base, which relies on a combination of trade, manufacturing, government, and white collar jobs that has helped the city to thrive during even the most difficult economic times. Columbus today, with a population of more than 740,000 is the nation’s 15th largest city.

Attractions Ohio’s history is preserved at the Ohio Historical Center and adjacent German Village, a restored district known for its beautifully renovated homes and live music. Columbus’ commitment to history is further evidenced at Ohio Village, a recreation of a small 19th century town; and at the Santa Maria, a replica of Christopher Columbus’s ship. Columbus is also home to one of the largest municipally owned zoos in the United States, the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, which features a 100,000-gallon coral reef tank. Ohio State University’s Buckeye football draws nearly 100,000 fans to the university’s Horseshoe Stadium each game day.

Corpus Christi, Texas County: Nueces
C
ORPUS CHRISTI is located in southeastern Texas, separated by the Gulf of Mexico by a series of barrier islands and Corpus Christi Bay. Major cities within 150 miles include San Antonio, Laredo, and Brownsville, Texas (Laredo and Brownsville lie on the U.S.-Mexican border).
and French and inhabited by Native Americans, buccaneers and pirates for centuries. The city began as a small trading post called Kinney’s Trading Post or Kinney’s Ranch (named after its founder Colonel Henry Lawrence Kinney), but was later renamed Corpus Christi after the adjoining bay. (The bay had been named more than 300 years earlier, in 1519, by Spanish conquistador Alonso Alvarez de Pineda on the Feast Day of Corpus Christi, a Latin phrase meaning ‘‘body of Christ’’.) During its early years, Corpus Christi grew primarily as an agricultural center. General Zachary Taylor and his troops spent the eight months from July of 1845 to March of 1846 at an encampment they had established on Corpus Christi Beach before heading south to fight in the Mexican War. During the war, the city became a transportation center.

Several years before Corpus Christi was incorporated as a city in 1852, the first port was established there, offering regular steamship service to New Orleans. The ship channel was quite shallow, and in 1860 the Corpus Christi Ship Channel Company was formed to dredge it, making Corpus Christi accessible to larger vessels and thereby paving the way for the city to become a major distribution center. In 1883, after the ship channel had been dredged to eight feet, the first cotton was shipped from Corpus Christi’s port. Over the course of the next century, the ship channel was gradually dredged to its present depth of 45 feet. In the meantime, natural gas (in 1913) and oil (in 1930) were discovered in the Corpus Christi area. The petrochemical industry that developed from these discoveries shaped Corpus Christi’s future, utilizing the city’s access to the world via the Port of Corpus Christi (established in 1922), its ever-deepening ship channel, and the Gulf of Mexico.
* In addition to the state sales tax, Corpus Christi has a 2.0% local sales tax.

Economy Although the petrochemical industry that dominated Corpus Christi’s economy for more than a half century still plays a major role, the city’s economic base has diversified significantly in recent years, and a majority of the area’s workforce is employed in service-related positions. Tourism and healthcare have become leading industries in Corpus Christi (the Corpus Christi area hosts approximately five million visitors a year who contribute more than a half-billion dollars to the local economy). Government is also a leading employment sector in the area—six of Corpus Christi’s ten largest employers are government-related, four of which are military establishments.

Attractions Located on the Texas coast, halfway between Houston and the U.S.-Mexican border, Corpus Christi sits on a bay surrounded by tropical islands, combining Texas traditions with the beaches and fishing of a Gulf resort. Port Aransas, a village on the tip of Mustang Island, is known for its great deep-sea fishing, and Conn Brown Harbor in Aransas Pass has the largest shrimping fleet on the Texas Coast. One can also go horseback riding on the beach at Mustang Island, or relax on the beaches at Padre Island National Seashore. In the city itself, popular sites include the Texas State Aquarium, which focuses exclusively on marine life of the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean; the USS Lexington Museum on the Bay; and the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History, which allows visitors to tour replicas of Christopher Columbus’ ships, the Pinta and the Santa Maria.

first white settlement in the area. In 1846, the town was laid out and was named Dallas in honor of Vice President George Dallas. Dallas County was formed the same year, and in 1850, with a population of 430, the town became the county seat. Dallas was incorporated as a city in 1856. Early growth was slow, but the arrival of the railroad in 1872 linked Dallas with the rest of the United States, creating economic opportunities that drew settlers to the area. By 1900, the city’s population had soared to more than 42,000.

The 20th Century was a time of phenomenal growth in Dallas--each decade saw the development of new industries that stimulated economic and population growth. Initially, agricultural trade dominated the economy. Finance became a major player in the city’s economy in 1914 when Dallas was chosen as the site for one of the 12 regional U.S. Federal Reserve Banks. In 1910, urban planner George Kessler proposed a plan to create a levee system on the flood-prone Trinity River, which flowed through the city. A decade later, the Trinity River Reclamation Project began, resulting in a new business district for the city. During the 1920s, the commercial aviation industry developed when the city purchased World War I training field, Love Field. (Dallas would eventually become a leader in air transport— Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport was opened in 1973, became the headquarters of American Airlines six years later, and today ranks as one of the world’s busiest airports.)
* In addition to the state sales tax, Dallas has a 2.0% local sales tax.
Climate Dallas has a continental climate. Winters are generally mild, with average high temperatures in the upper 50s and average lows in the mid- to upper 30s. Brief cold spells caused by polar air masses that move in from the Great Plains occur occasionally, but snowfall is minimal, averaging less than three inches annually. Summers are hot and humid, with average high temperatures in the mid-90s and average lows in the low to mid-70s. Thunderstorms are common during the spring months—May is the wettest month in Dallas, while January is the driest.
In 1930, the East Texas Oil Field—the world’s largest deposit of oil at that time—was discovered east of Dallas. The city rapidly became a major center for the petroleum industry, as more than 500 new oil-related companies were established there within a year’s time. Also during the 1930s, the high technology industry took off in Dallas with the establishment of Geophysical Services Inc., a company that would later become industry giant Texas Instruments. The advent of World War II brought the defense and aviation manufacturing industry to the Dallas area, which has also continued to thrive.

In November 1963, Dallas became the site of one of the greatest tragedies in American history as shots were fired on the Presidential motorcade, killing President John F. Kennedy and injuring Texas Governor John Connally. President Kennedy’s assassination sent shock waves throughout the world and, for a time, cast a shadow over Dallas’ image.

secured by American forces under the command of General ‘‘Mad Anthony’’ Wayne in 1790. The town of Dayton was founded in 1796 and named after one of its founding fathers, Revolutionary War hero General Jonathan Dayton. In 1805, Dayton was incorporated as a city. After the opening of the Miami Canal in 1829, which provided access to Cincinnati (and later Lake Erie), Dayton prospered as an industrial center, producing a wide variety of products that included iron casting, hats, flour, candles, soap, and furniture. In the three decades between 1910 and 1940, Dayton’s population grew from 383 residents to 6,000. The arrival of railroad lines later in the century further stimulated industrial growth.

History
ENVER is located in the High Plains of north central Colorado at the edge of the Rocky Mountains. Major cities within 100 miles include Aurora, Boulder, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, and Greeley, Colorado; and Cheyenne, Wyoming.
The town of Denver was founded in 1860 at the site of a trading post established two years earlier to supply prospectors of the Gold Rush that began at the confluence of the South Platte River and Cherry Creek. Prior to white settlement, the Denver area had been inhabited for thousands of years by the Arapahoe, Comanche, and Kiowa tribes and explored by Spaniards as early as the mid-1500s. During its early years, the city endured several disasters, including a fire, a flood, and a rash of Indian attacks.

Denver was chosen as the state capital of Colorado in 1867. With the arrival of the railroad three years later, the city became a regional transportation hub. By this time, many of the Native American tribes had been defeated, and white settlement flourished. Within two decades, Denver’s population grew from fewer than 5,000 residents to more than 100,000. Successful gold and silver mining and processing fueled Denver’s early economy, and in 1906 a U.S. Mint was established in the city.
* In addition to the state sales tax, the City and County of Denver also have a 3.5% local income tax.
The energy boom during the 1970s and 80s led to phenomenal growth in Denver—the city’s population nearly doubled as more than 1,300 energy-related companies relocated to the area, bringing new economic opportunities. Now home to more than 580,000 people, the ‘‘Mile High City’’ today is Colorado’s largest city as well as the industrial, commercial, and financial center of the Rocky Mountain region.
Climate Denver’s clear, dry climate is tempered by its location east of the Rocky Mountains, which protect it from extremes of hot and cold. Winters are cold but sunny, with average high temperatures in the mid-40s and lows in the mid- to high teens. The average annual snowfall in Denver is 60 inches. Summer days are warm, with average high temperatures in the mid-80s, while evenings cool down dramatically into the 50s. Precipitation is low throughout the year—May is the wettest month in Denver, while January and February are the driest.

At the heart of Denver is the 16th Street Mall, a tree-lined pedestrian promenade that runs through the center of downtown Denver. The Lower Downtown District (LoDo) features turn-of-the-century streetscaping, with art galleries, antique shops, unique restaurants, and jazz and dance clubs. Denver’s City Park is home to the Denver Zoo, which has thousands of exotic animals in a natural setting, and the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. The Denver Art Museum covers seven floors and has some 40,000 works, including an extensive American Indian collection. Free tours are available of the U.S. Mint in Denver and of the Colorado State Capitol Building, which is modeled after the United States Capitol in Washington, DC, and features a panoramic view of the Rocky Mountains. (The Rockies are located just 12 miles west of the city.) Another area attraction that features spectacular views is Red Rocks Amphitheatre, which is flanked by rugged sandstone rock formations that provide excellent acoustics.

Des Moines, Iowa County: Polk

Moines were consolidated and renamed Des Moines, and the city was chosen as the new capital of Iowa (originally Iowa City). There are several conflicting stories as to where the name Des Moines originated. Some believe that the name was derived from the French words ‘‘de moyen,’’ meaning ‘‘in the middle,’’ referring to the river’s location midway between the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers. Others believe that the river (and subsequently, the town) was named for the Moingounena Indians that inhabited the area, while yet another explanation attributes the name to the literal translation from the French ‘‘des moines,’’ meaning ‘‘the monks,’’ for the French missionaries that traversed the area.
ES MOINES is located at the confluence of the Des Moines River and the Raccoon River in central Iowa. Major cities within 150 miles include Ames, Cedar Rapids, and Iowa City, Iowa; and Omaha, Nebraska.

Agriculture still plays a vital role in the area’s economy, but Des Moines has also become known as a center for finance and insurance.

The city today is home to more than 196,000 people, making it Iowa’s largest city.
Climate Des Moines has a continental climate with four distinct seasons. Winters are long and cold, with average high temperatures in the low 30s and lows in the teens.

Detroit, Michigan County: Wayne
D
ETROIT is located in southeastern Michigan across the Detroit River from Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Cities within 100 miles of Detroit include Flint and Lansing, Michigan; and London, Ontario, Canada.
The city’s name was derived from the French phrase ‘‘Ville d’Etroit,’’ meaning ‘‘city of the strait,’’ as the village was established along the banks of the Detroit River. In its early years, Detroit was a Canadian city under French and British rule. General Anthony Wayne and his American troops occupied the Detroit area in 1796. General Wayne’s victories against the Indians helped the United States of America gain sovereignty of the area at the turn of the 18th century. Wayne County was established in his honor, and many Americans settled there.

Three years after Detroit became a town in 1802, it was destroyed by fire. Over the course of the next decade, Judge Augustus Woodward and Governor William Hull worked to establish the territory of Michigan, rebuilding the city to act as the capital of the new territory. Detroit was incorporated as a city in 1815, and remained the capital until 1837 when Michigan gained its statehood. Throughout the 1800s, Detroit was a major manufacturing center for transportation equipment such as railroad cars, engines, locomotives, and carriages. In 1896, the first car was built in Detroit by Henry Ford—the year 1900 marked the beginning of the automobile era, and Detroit earned its nickname ‘‘The Motor City.’’ Three major American automobile manufacturers, Ford, General Motors Corp., and Chrysler Corp. (which was acquired by Germany’s Daimler-Benz in 1998), all got their start in the Detroit area. The automobile industry drew large numbers of people to Detroit in the early 20th Century, and transportation equipment manufacturing continues to play a vital role in the city’s economy today.
Climate Detroit is located in the North Temperate Zone. Winters are cold, with temperatures occasionally dipping below zero. Winter daytime high temperatures average in the mid-30s, with nightime lows in the low 20s. The average snowfall amount for Detroit is 41 inches. Summers are warm, with average high temperatures in the low to mid-80s and evenings in the low to mid-60s. Summer is also the rainy season in Detroit, with June being the wettest month.

Attractions The downtown skyline of Detroit is dominated by the Renaissance Center, which has six office towers and the 73-story Westin Hotel, one of the tallest hotels in the world. Located in southeast downtown is Greektown, one of the ‘‘Motor City’s’’ most popular entertainment districts. At the center of Greektown lies Trapper’s Alley, the former fur center of the Midwest that has been transformed into a shopping center comprising numerous 500 year-old buildings enclosed under one roof. Belle Isle Park, located in the Detroit River three miles southeast of the city center, is the nation’s oldest and largest city island park. The park features an outdoor zoo that is open during the spring and summer months, as well as the Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory, known for its orchid collections, and an aquarium that are open year-round. Detroit’s history as the ‘‘Automotive Capital of the World’’ can be seen in the area’s many historical attractions, including the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village, located in Dearborn. The Village is an indoor-outdoor museum that preserves 80 famous historic structures, among them Thomas Edison’s laboratory, the bikeshop where the Wright Brothers’ first airplane was built, and the farm where Henry Ford was born.

the river of the north’’) along the banks of the Rio Grande as a stopping point for travelers on El Camino Real (the Royal Highway), which ran from Mexico City to Santa Fe. The name of the city was later shortened to ‘‘El Paso.’’ The city remained primarily under Spanish rule for the next 252 years, although Mexico, Texas, New Mexico, and the United States fought over control of El Paso throughout those years. In 1848, the city was divided between present-day Ciudad Juarez (El Paso’s sister city across the Rio Grande in Mexico) and what was to become El Paso proper. The Chamizal Treaty of 1963 shifted this border, returning 700 acres to Mexico, and the Chamizal National Memorial in El Paso commemorates the settlement of this land dispute between the U.S. and Mexico. In 1850, El Paso officially became part of the state of Texas.
L PASO is located along the Rio Grande River in western Texas at the border of Mexico and New Mexico. Major cities within 100 miles include Las Cruces, New Mexico, and Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico.

During the latter part of the 1800s, El Paso was a typical ‘‘Old West’’ town—several notorious gunfighters, including John Wesley Hardin, John Selman, and Marshall Dallas Stoudenmire were laid to rest at the city’s Concordia Cemetery. El Paso grew quickly during the late 19th Century, due in large part to the opening of Fort Bliss in 1860. Originally established as a U.S. military outpost in 1848, Fort Bliss later became the largest cavalry post in the United States. The military presence of Fort Bliss ensured the nation that El Paso was safe for rail travel, and the Southern Pacific Railroad opened in the city in 1881. The railroad provided a gateway to the United States and to Mexico, thereby enabling El Paso to develop as a major center for international trade.
* In addition to the state sales tax, El Paso has a 2.0% local sales tax.
Climate El Paso has a dry desert climate. Winters are mild, with average high temperatures near 60, although lows can dip below freezing. Snowfall is rare, averaging less than six inches annually. Summer days are hot with high temperatures in the low to mid-90s, while evening temperatures drop dramatically to near 70. El Paso has approximately 300 sunny days annually and relatively low humidity. August is the wettest month of the year in El Paso; April is the driest.
El Paso today, with more than 600,000 residents, is the sixth largest city in Texas and, with Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, forms the largest international metroplex in the world. Fort Bliss, which was instrumental in the development of the area, is presently the largest air defense center in the western world and one of El Paso’s largest employers. Continued growth is expected in the area—the population of El Paso is projected to surpass 600,000 by the year 2010.

Economy El Paso’s location on the U.S.-Mexican border has long made the city a major center for international trade, and trade remains one of the area’s largest sources of employment. Half of El Paso’s top 20 employers are government-related, including the United States Department of Justice and Texas State Government, both of which provide jobs for more than 1,500 area residents at various agencies. Manufacturing also plays an important role in El Paso’s economy. Although the area has experienced a decline in the apparel and textile industry that it was once noted for, production of other goods (such as electronics and computers, and rubber and plastics products) has gained importance in recent years. Numerous Fortune 500 companies have operations in the El Paso area.

Eugene, Oregon County: Lane
E
and a new site for Eugene City was chosen on higher ground, where early settlers harnessed the power of the nearby Willamette River and established a flour mill, a woolen mill, and sawmills.
UGENE is located in the Willamette River Valley in western Oregon. Major cities within 100 miles include Salem and Portland, Oregon.
Eugene City was incorporated in 1862, and in 1864, the same year the first telegraph lines reached the city, its name was changed to Eugene. The arrival of the Oregon-California Railway (now known as Southern Pacific) in 1871 helped to further fuel the city’s growth and development. Because of its location in the fertile Willamette River Valley, Eugene prospered as a lumbering and agricultural center. To this day, Eugene is often referred to as the ‘‘lumber and wood products capital of the world.’’ The University of Oregon was founded in Eugene in 1872, and more than a century later the university remains vital to the city’s livelihood as one of the area’s top employers.

History Originally inhabited by the Kalapuya Indians, the first settlement in the area known today as Eugene was established in the late 1840s by Eugene Franklin Skinner. His cabin served initially as a trading post and in 1850 was authorized as a U.S. post office. With the help of Judge David Risdon, Skinner platted a new community called ‘‘Eugene City’’ in 1852. Later that year a flood devastated the area

Flint’s reputation as the ‘‘Vehicle City’’ began in the early 1900s, with several auto makers making their debut in the city, including General Motors in 1908. GM’s Buick, Chevrolet, and Fisher Body plants were all located in Flint, and the city became the nation’s second largest producer of automobiles. Flint’s population continued to grow during much of the 20th Century as many new residents, including European immigrants and African-Americans from the South, were drawn by the city’s economic opportunities.
LINT is located in southeastern Michigan. Major cities within 100 miles include Ann Arbor, Detroit, and Lansing, Michigan; and Toledo, Ohio.

The late 1970s and the 1980s were difficult times for Flint. A decline in domestic automobile manufacturing led to the closure and relocation of many Flint plants, and this had a major impact on the city’s economy. In recent years, Flint has diversified its economic base, with the healthcare industry rapidly gaining importance. Despite the plant closures of the past several decades, General Motors remains the city’s largest employer and an integral part of Flint’s economy.

History Flint was founded by European settlers in 1819 as a fur trading post, and by the mid-1800s Flint had grown as a lumbering center and was incorporated as a city. The lumber mills provided the materials necessary for carriage and wagon manufacturing, and by the turn of the 20th Century Flint’s factories were producing more than 10,000 carriages annually.

Fort Collins, Colorado County: Larimer
F
ORT COLLINS is located along the Cache la Poudre River in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains of north central Colorado. Major cities within 100 miles include Denver and Boulder, Colorado; and Cheyenne, Wyoming.
Stage Route at the site of the present-day city of LaPorte. The outpost was named for U.S. Lt. Colonel William Collins, who commissioned the fort. Later that year, a flood destroyed the original location, and a new outpost was established a few miles southeast and renamed Fort Collins. By 1867 the fort had been abandoned, but the community that had formed around it remained. Five years later, with the establishment of the Larimer County Land improvement Company and the promise of irrigation systems, an agricultural colony was formed and the new town of Fort Collins was platted. Fort Collins was incorporated as a city in 1873.

Although Fort Collins’ early progress was hampered by financial problems and insect plagues that destroyed local crops, the arrival of the Colorado Central Railroad opened the city up to new markets and subsequently helped fuel economic growth. The opening of the Agricultural College of Colorado (which would later become Colorado State University) in 1879 helped to spark Fort Collins’ growth as an agricultural community. The creation of the college’s Colorado Agricultural Experiment Station in 1888 eventually led to the development of Fort Collins’ prosperous sugar beet industry during the 1890s. The sugar beet industry would fuel the city’s economy for decades to come, attracting many new residents to the area, who came seeking jobs as field workers.
* In addition to the state sales tax, Larimer County has a 0.8% sales tax and the City of Fort Collins has a 3.0% sales tax.
Climate Fort Collins has a moderate climate with an annual average of approximately 300 days of sunshine. Winter days are cool, with average high temperatures in the low to mid-40s, while overnight lows dip into the teens. Fort Collins receives an average of around 50 inches of snow each year, with January being the snowiest month. Summer days are warm in Fort Collins, with average highs in the low to mid-80s, while evenings cool down into the 50s. May is the wettest month in Fort Collins; December is the driest.
During the early 20th Century, Fort Collins continued to grow primarily as an agricultural community. In addition to the sugar industry, livestock feeding became a vital part of the city’s economy. Although the Great Depression brought hard times to Fort Collins, the city experienced a post-World War II building boom. As a result, Fort Collins’ population doubled in size between 1944 and 1955. In the decades that followed, the city’s economy began to diversify as new industries developed in the area and the population continued to grow steadily. Today, with a population exceeding 128,000, Fort Collins is Colorado’s fifth largest city.

Fort Lauderdale, Florida County: Broward
F
is known to have been inhabited by the Tequesta Indians before 1450 B.C. and by the Seminole Indians for years before the Seminole Wars, the settlement boom that eventually led to Fort Lauderdale’s ranking as one of the nation’s most populous cities began in 1893 with the establishment of the area’s first trading post, built by Frank Stranahan, who is sometimes referred to as the ‘‘father of modern Fort Lauderdale.’’
ORT LAUDERDALE is located on the southern Atlantic Coast, also known as the Gold Coast, of Florida. Major cities within 100 miles include West Palm Beach and Miami, Florida.

Fort Lauderdale was incorporated as a city in 1911. The population grew quickly during the real estate boom of the 1920’s, during which numerous canals were dredged to create additional waterfront property in the area. Nicknamed the ‘‘Venice of America,’’ Fort Lauderdale today has more than 300 miles of navigable waterways, rivers, and inlets. The years following World War II marked another era of growth for the city, as many soldiers who had been stationed in the area fell in love with the city and returned to settle there after the war had ended. Today, the Greater Fort Lauderdale area is home to nearly 1.8 million people, approximately 10 percent of whom live in the City of Fort Lauderdale.
Climate Fort Lauderdale has a subtropical climate, with approximately 3,000 hours of sunshine each year and an average annual temperature of 76 degrees. Seasonal changes are mild due to ocean breezes influenced by the Gulf Stream and the prevailing southeasterly tradewinds that help to keep the temperature mild year-round. Summer is considered the ‘‘rainy season’’ in Fort Lauderdale, with June and September being the wettest months.

Fort Wayne, Indiana County: Allen
F
‘‘Mad’’ Anthony Wayne built a fort at the confluence of the Maumee, Saint Joseph, and Saint Marys rivers. It was incorporated as a city 46 years later in 1840. The construction of the Wabash-Erie Canal in 1840 and the arrival of the railroad in 1852, linking the city with Pittsburgh and Chicago, stimulated growth in Fort Wayne. Fort Wayne today, with a population of more than 251,000, is Indiana’s second largest city.
ORT WAYNE is located in northeastern Indiana. Major cities within 100 miles include South Bend, Indiana and Kalamazoo, Michigan.

last major stop along the Chisholm Trail, the main cattle drive that ran from the ranches in Texas to the slaughterhouses in Kansas. The arrival of the railroad in 1876, which may be credited in large part to Fort Worth residents who made contributions when the railroad company went bankrupt during the nation’s economic depression, stimulated further growth and development as the town became a major meat processing and distribution center. In 1896, Fort Worth’s first stock show was held in the city. More than a century later, the annual Southwestern Exposition and Livestock Show is among the country’s largest livestock shows and rodeos.

Agriculture, primarily beef cattle and grain, played a large role in Fort Worth’s economy through the first two decades of the 20th Century. The discovery of oil nearby in 1920 added a new dimension to Fort Worth’s economic base, as the city was the last major commercial center before the oil fields of the western part of the state. Aviation-related industries have had a major impact on Fort Worth since World War II, when wartime industries including aircraft manufacturing brought economic opportunities to the city. The opening of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport in 1973 also sparked economic and population growth in Fort Worth. The airport today is one of the busiest in the world. American Airlines, whose corporate headquarters is located at DFW, is Tarrant County’s third largest employer, providing jobs for more than 6,000 area residents.
* In addition to the state sales tax, Fort Worth has a 2.0% local sales tax.

Set in the central San Joaquin Valley, Fresno takes its name from the ash trees native to the area (Fresno is the Spanish word for ‘‘ash tree’’). The town of Fresno was founded in 1872 when the Central Pacific Railroad chose the land as a site for a railroad telegraph office. The arrival of the railroad brought economic opportunities that led a number of Millerton residents to relocate to the new town. In 1885, Fresno was incorporated as a city and became the new centralized county seat.

Originally a dry, desert area, Fresno County was transformed into a fertile farming area through the development of irrigation canals called ‘‘church ditches’’ for Morris Church, who dug the first of these canals. Primary crops included grapes, grain, cotton, oranges, figs, and apples; and livestock, primarily cattle, was also an important part of Fresno’s agricultural base. The lumber and mining industries also helped fuel Fresno’s economy. Agriculture remains vital to the region’s economic development—Fresno County today is one of the nation’s leading agricultural regions, generating approximately $4 billion in more than 250 commercial crops annually. In addition to its successful farming and agricultural processing industries, as well as an excellent distribution network, Fresno has also become a regional center for government and industry in central California. The City of Fresno today is home to more than 470,000 people, a number that continues to grow steadily each year.
* In addition to the state sales tax, Fresno has a 0.725% local sales tax.
