Metropolitanska oblast Baltimore, koja uključuje susjedna predragrađa, ima oko 2,6 miliona stanovnika. Baltimore je također dio Metropolitanske oblast Baltimore-Washingtron (CMSA) koje ima otprilike 8,1 miliona stanovnika. Baltimore je najveći grad u Marylandu, a njegova metropolitanska oblast je 20. po veličini u SAD.

Grad je ime dobio po osnivaču Kolonije Maryland, Lordu Baltimoreu iz Irskog doma lorodova. Baltimore je svoje ime uzeo prema mjestu Baltimore u Irskoj, što je engleska transliteracija irskog izraza Baile an Tí Mhoir, ili "Dom velike kuće".^[3] Nije jasno je li Baltimore bio Baltimore u Okrugu Cork ili mjesto u okrughu Longford koje se nekad zvalo Baltimore.

Baltimore je 1800-ih bio drugi najpopularniji grad u kojem su se iskrcavali doseljenici u SAD.

S obzirom da se u susjedstvu nalazi Okrug Baltimore za Baltimore se ponekad koristi izraz Baltimore City (Grad Baltimore) kako bi se označila razlika.
