Austin, Texas
In 1940 , the destroyed granite dam on the Colorado River was finally replaced by a hollow concrete dam that formed Lake McDonald ( now called Lake Austin ) and which has withstood all floods since . In addition , the much larger Mansfield Dam was built by the LCRA upstream of Austin to form the flood - control lake , Lake Travis . In the early 20th century , the Texas Oil Boom took hold , creating tremendous economic opportunities in Southeast Texas and North Texas . The growth generated by this boom largely passed by Austin at first , with the city slipping from fourth largest to 10th largest in Texas between 1880 and 1920 .
Jordan River
The waters of the Jordan River are the second largest water resource for Israel , desalination of sea water from the Mediterranean being the first . Israel 's National Water Carrier , completed in 1964 , delivers water from the Sea of Galilee to the Israeli coastal plain .
Columbus, Georgia

Situated at the heart of the Chattahoochee Valley , Columbus is directly to the east across the Chattahoochee River from Phenix City , Alabama .
Baja California
Baja California obtains much of its water from the Colorado River . Historically the river drained into the Colorado River Delta which flowed into the Gulf of California , but due to large demands for water in the American Southwest , less water now reaches the Gulf . The Tijuana metropolitan area also relies on the Tijuana River as a source of water . Much of rural Baja California depends predominantly on wells , a few dams and even oases . Tijuana also purchases water from San Diego County 's Otay Water District . Potable water is the largest natural resource issue of the state .
Quito
Parque Metropolitano Guanguiltagua is the largest urban park in South America at 1,376 acres ( 5.57 km ) ( as reference , New York 's Central Park is 843 acres ( 341 ha ) ) . The park is located in northern Quito , on the hill of Bellavista behind Estadio Olímpico Atahualpa . The park is suited for mountain biking , walking , and running . Most of it is eucalyptus forest with trails , but there also are numerous sculptures on display .

The Bronx
Woodlawn Cemetery , one of the largest cemeteries in New York City , sits on the western bank of the Bronx River near Yonkers . It opened in 1863 , at a time when the Bronx was still considered a rural area .
Economy of Mexico
Mineral resources are the `` nation 's property '' ( i.e. public property ) by constitution . As such , the energy sector is administered by the government with varying degrees of private investment . Mexico is the sixth - largest oil producer in the world , with 3,700,000 barrels per day ( 590,000 m / d ) . Pemex , the public company in charge of administering research , exploration and sales of oil , is the largest company ( oil or otherwise ) in Mexico , and the second largest in Latin America after Brazil 's Petrobras . Pemex is heavily taxed of almost 62 per cent of the company 's sales , a significant source of revenue for the government .
Clint Eastwood
In addition to directing many of his own star vehicles , Eastwood has also directed films in which he did not appear , such as the mystery drama Mystic River ( 2003 ) and the war film Letters from Iwo Jima ( 2006 ) , for which he received Academy Award nominations , the drama Changeling ( 2008 ) , and the South African biographical political sports drama Invictus ( 2009 ) . The war drama biopic American Sniper ( 2014 ) set box office records for the largest January release ever and was also the largest opening ever for an Eastwood film .
Godavari River
The primary / initial catchment of the Godavari drainage basin is largely represented by the basalt of the Deccan Volcanic Province ( ~ 50 % of the total basin area ) . This is followed by the Precambrian granites and gneisses of the eastern Dharwar Craton , sandstones , shales and limestones of the Gondwana Supergroup , various sedimentary units of Cuddapah and Vindhyan basins , charnockites and khondalites of the Proterozoic Eastern Ghats Mobile Belt and the sandstones of the Rajahmundry Formation . The Godavari River carries the largest sediment load among the peninsular rivers and the majority of the mass transfer in Godavari occurs during the monsoon . Mineral magnetic studies of the Godavari River sediments suggest that the floodplains in the entire stretch of the river are characterized by a Deccan basalt source . The bed loads on the other hand are of sourced from local bedrock . Influx of Deccan source in the Godavari River up to the delta regions and possibly in the Bay of Bengal off the Godavari , therefore , can be related to the intensive chemical weathering in the Deccan basalts . Abrupt increase in δ C values and decrease in TOC content accompanied with a significant increase in ferrimagnetic mineral concentration in Bay of Bengal sediments from ~ 3.2 to 3.1 cal . ka BP reflected a shift of organic carbon and sediment source and a severe decline in vegetation coverage . Such phenomena indicate intensified deforestation and soil / rock erosion in the Deccan Plateau producing higher ferrimagnetic mineral inputs , which is in agreement with significant expansion of agricultural activities in the Deccan Chalcolithic cultural period .
Bank of America
In 2004 , Bank of America announced it would purchase Boston - based bank FleetBoston Financial for $47 billion in cash and stock . By merging with Bank of America , all of its banks and branches were given the Bank of America logo . At the time of merger , FleetBoston was the seventh largest bank in United States with $197 billion in assets , over 20 million customers and revenue of $12 billion . Hundreds of FleetBoston workers lost their jobs or were demoted , according to The Boston Globe .
Michigan
Michigan is home to very fertile land in the Saginaw Valley and `` Thumb '' areas . Products grown there include corn , sugar beets , navy beans , and soy beans . Sugar beet harvesting usually begins the first of October . It takes the sugar factories about five months to process the 3.7 million tons of sugarbeets into 485,000 tons of pure , white sugar . Michigan 's largest sugar refiner , Michigan Sugar Company is the largest east of the Mississippi River and the fourth largest in the nation . Michigan Sugar brand names are Pioneer Sugar and the newly incorporated Big Chief Sugar . Potatoes are grown in Northern Michigan , and corn is dominant in Central Michigan . Alfalfa , cucumbers , and asparagus are also grown .
Great Britain in the Seven Years' War
The key to British strategy in North America involved taking Quebec City - the capital and largest city of New France . This was to be achieved by the deployment of a massive force up the St Lawrence River . Simultaneously an Anglo - American force would march from New York to capture Fort Carillon and possibly Fort Niagara as well . While many , particularly Pitt and the American inhabitants , hoped that Canada could be annexed , others saw it as a bargaining chip to offset potential British losses in Europe . By the time the French realised the scale of the British intentions in Canada , it was too late to send assistance to Quebec . The French government hoped that Louis - Joseph de Montcalm , New France 's military commander , would be able to resist for the next year , after which they would send troops to his aid .
Bank of America
In December 2011 , Forbes ranked Bank of America 's financial health 91st out of the nation 's largest 100 banks and thrift institutions .
Missouri
Missouri also has a growing science , agricultural technology and biotechnology field . Monsanto , one of the largest biotech companies in America , is based in St. Louis .
Bank of America
In August 2014 , Bank of America agreed to a near - $17 billion deal to settle claims against it relating to the sale of toxic mortgage - linked securities including subprime home loans , in what was believed to be the largest settlement in U.S. corporate history . The bank agreed with the U.S. Justice Department to pay $9.65 billion in fines , and $7 billion in relief to the victims of the faulty loans which included homeowners , borrowers , pension funds and municipalities . Real estate economist Jed Kolko said the settlement is a `` drop in the bucket '' compared to the $700 billion in damages done to 11 million homeowners . Since the settlement covered such a substantial portion of the market , he said for most consumers `` you 're out of luck . ''
Child care
However , for - profit day care corporations often exist where the market is sufficiently large or there are government subsidies . For instance , in North America , KinderCare Learning Centers , one of the largest of such companies , has approximately 1,600 centers located in 39 states and the District of Columbia . Bright Horizons Family Solutions another of the largest has over 600 daycare centers . Similarly the Australian government 's childcare subsidy has allowed the creation of a large private - sector industry in that country .
Moose
On average , an adult moose stands 1.4 -- 2.1 m ( 4.6 -- 6.9 ft ) high at the shoulder , which is more than a foot higher than the next largest deer on average , the elk . Males ( or `` bulls '' ) normally weigh from 380 to 700 kg ( 838 to 1,543 lb ) and females ( or `` cows '' ) typically weigh 200 to 490 kg ( 441 to 1,080 lb ) , depending on racial or clinal as well as individual age or nutritional variations . The head - and - body length is 2.4 -- 3.1 m ( 7.9 -- 10.2 ft ) , with the vestigial tail adding only a further 5 -- 12 cm ( 2.0 -- 4.7 in ) . The largest of all the races is the Alaskan subspecies ( A. a . gigas ) , which can stand over 2.1 m ( 6.9 ft ) at the shoulder , has a span across the antlers of 1.8 m ( 5.9 ft ) and averages 634.5 kg ( 1,399 lb ) in males and 478 kg ( 1,054 lb ) in females . Typically , however , the antlers of a mature bull are between 1.2 m ( 3.9 ft ) and 1.5 m ( 4.9 ft ) . The largest confirmed size for this species was a bull shot at the Yukon River in September 1897 that weighed 820 kg ( 1,808 lb ) and measured 2.33 m ( 7.6 ft ) high at the shoulder . There have been reported cases of even larger moose , including a bull that reportedly scaled 1,180 kg ( 2,601 lb ) , but none are authenticated and some may not be considered reliable . Behind only the two species of bison , the moose is the second largest land animal in both North America and Europe .
Godavari River
Gangapur Dam : This is a large earth fill dam with gross water storage of 215.88 million cubic metres , and located 10 km ( 6.2 mi ) upstream from Nashik city . The reservoir known as the Gangapur Bandh Sagar provides drinking water to the Nashik city and also supplies water to the thermal power station situated downstream at Eklahare . Jayakwadi dam : Located near Paithan , it is one of the largest earthen dams in India . This dam was built to address the dual problems of flooding along the banks , during monsoon months , and that of drought , rest of the year , in the Marathwada region . Two ' left ' and ' right ' canals provide the irrigation to fertile land up to Nanded district . This dam has contributed to industrial development of Aurangabad and Jalna , Maharashtra . Majalgaon Dam is also constructed under Jayakwadi stage 2 to expand the irrigation potential further in Parbhani , Nanded and Beed districts . Vishnupuri barrage : Asia 's Largest Lift Irrigation project , the Vishnupuri Prakalp has been constructed on the river at a distance of 5 km ( 3.1 mi ) from the city Nanded . Ghatghar Dam was built for hydro power generation by diverting the water of Pravara tributary outside Godavari river basin to a west flowing river which joins Arabian sea . Upper Vaitarna reservoir was built across west flowing Vaitarna river merging some part of Godavari river catchment area . Godavari water impounded in this reservoir is diverted outside the river basin for Mumbai city drinking water supply after generating hydro power . Sriram Sagar Dam : This is another multipurpose project on the Godavari River on the borders of Adilabad and Nizamabad District . It is near the town of Pochampad , 60 km away from Nizamabad . It has been described by The Hindu as a `` lifeline for a large part of Telangana '' . It serves the irrigation needs in Karimnagar , Warangal , Adilabad , Nalgonda , and Khammam districts and also generates power . Dowleswaram Barrage was built by Sir Arthur Cotton in 1852 .
Mexico City
Greater Mexico City has a GDP of $411 billion in 2011 , making Greater Mexico City one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world . The city was responsible for generating 15.8 % of Mexico 's GDP , and the metropolitan area accounted for about 22 % of total national GDP . If it were an independent country , in 2013 , Mexico City would be the fifth - largest economy in Latin America , five times as large as Costa Rica and about the same size as Peru .
European colonization of the Americas
Other powers such as France also founded colonies in the Americas : in eastern North America , a number of Caribbean islands and small coastal parts of South America . Portugal colonized Brazil , tried colonizing the eastern coasts of present - day Canada and settled for extended periods northwest ( on the east bank ) of the River Plate . The Age of Exploration was the beginning of territorial expansion for several European countries . Europe had been preoccupied with internal wars and was slowly recovering from the loss of population caused by the Black Death ; thus the rapid rate at which it grew in wealth and power was unforeseeable in the early 15th century .
Brown bear
The brown bear ( Ursus arctos ) is a large bear with the widest distribution of any living ursid . The species is distributed across much of northern Eurasia and North America . It is one of the two largest terrestrial carnivorans alive today , rivaled in body size only by its close cousin , the polar bear ( Ursus maritimus ) , which is much less variable in size and averages larger due to this . There are several recognized subspecies , many of which are quite well - known within their native ranges , found in the brown bear species .
Nairobi
Nairobi ( / naɪˈroʊbi / ; locally ( naɪˈroːbi ) ) is the capital and largest city of Kenya .

Economy of Mexico
Mexico is an export - oriented economy . It is an important trade power as measured by the value of merchandise traded , and the country with the greatest number of free trade agreements . In 2005 , Mexico was the world 's fifteenth largest merchandise exporter and twelfth largest merchandise importer with a 12 % annual percentage increase in overall trade . From 1991 to 2005 Mexican trade increased fivefold . Mexico is the biggest exporter and importer in Latin America ; in 2005 , Mexico alone exported US $213.7 billion , roughly equivalent to the sum of the exports of Brazil , Argentina , Venezuela , Uruguay , and Paraguay .
Halloween
The yearly New York Halloween Parade , begun in 1974 by puppeteer and mask maker Ralph Lee of Greenwich Village , is a large Halloween parade and one of America 's only major nighttime parades ( along with Portland 's Starlight Parade ) , attracting more than 60,000 costumed participants , two million spectators , and a worldwide television audience of over 100 million . The largest Halloween parade in the world takes place in Derry in Northern Ireland , which was named the `` best Halloween destination in the world '' having been voted number one in a USA Today readers ' poll in 2015 .
Bank of America
On February 9 , 2012 , it was announced that the five largest mortgage servicers ( Ally / GMAC , Bank of America , Citi , JPMorgan Chase , and Wells Fargo ) agreed to a historic settlement with the federal government and 49 states . The settlement , known as the National Mortgage Settlement ( NMS ) , required the servicers to provide about $26 billion in relief to distressed homeowners and in direct payments to the states and federal government . This settlement amount makes the NMS the second largest civil settlement in U.S. history , only trailing the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement . The five banks were also required to comply with 305 new mortgage servicing standards . Oklahoma held out and agreed to settle with the banks separately .

History of rail transport in the United States
Two of the largest remaining railroads , the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central , merged in 1968 to form the Penn Central . At the insistence of the ICC the New York , New Haven and Hartford Railroad was added to the merger in 1969 ; in 1970 the Penn Central declared bankruptcy , the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history until then . Other bankrupt railroads included the Ann Arbor Railroad ( 1973 ) , Erie Lackawanna Railway ( 1972 ) , Lehigh Valley Railroad ( 1970 ) , Reading Company ( 1971 ) , Central Railroad of New Jersey ( 1967 ) and Lehigh and Hudson River Railway ( 1972 ) .
The Bronx
The northern side of the borough includes the largest park in New York City -- Pelham Bay Park , which includes Orchard Beach -- and the third - largest , Van Cortlandt Park , which is west of Woodlawn Cemetery and borders Yonkers . Also in the northern Bronx , Wave Hill , the former estate of George W. Perkins -- known for a historic house , gardens , changing site - specific art installations and concerts -- overlooks the New Jersey Palisades from a promontory on the Hudson in Riverdale . Nearer the borough 's center , and along the Bronx River , is Bronx Park ; its northern end houses the New York Botanical Gardens , which preserve the last patch of the original hemlock forest that once covered the entire county , and its southern end the Bronx Zoo , the largest urban zoological gardens in the United States . Just south of Van Cortlandt Park is the Jerome Park Reservoir , surrounded by 2 miles ( 3 km ) of stone walls and bordering several small parks in the Bedford Park neighborhood ; the reservoir was built in the 1890s on the site of the former Jerome Park Racetrack . Further south is Crotona Park , home to a 3.3 - acre ( 1.3 ha ) lake , 28 species of trees , and a large swimming pool . The land for these parks , and many others , was bought by New York City in 1888 , while land was still open and inexpensive , in anticipation of future needs and future pressures for development .
Avocado
Hass avocado production in Peru encompasses thousands of hectares in central and western Peru . Peru has now become the largest supplier of avocados imported to the European Union and , more recently , has begun to export avocados in significant quantities to North America .
Conquistador
Juan Díaz de Solís arrived again to the renamed Río de la Plata , literally river of the silver , after the Incan conquest . He sought a way to transport the Potosi 's silver to Europe . For a long time due to the Incan silver mines , Potosí was the most important site in Colonial Spanish America , located in the current department of Potosí in Bolivia and it was the location of the Spanish colonial mint . The first settlement in the way was the fort of Sancti Spiritu , established in 1527 next to the Paraná River . Buenos Aires was established in 1536 , establishing the Governorate of the Río de la Plata .
Geography of West Bengal
The Sundarbans delta is the largest mangrove forest in the world situated in the South 24 Parganas district . It lies at the mouth of the Ganges and is spread across areas of Bangladesh and West Bengal , India . The Bangladeshi and Indian portions of the jungle are listed in the UNESCO world heritage list separately as the Sundarbans and Sundarbans National Park respectively , though they are parts of the same forest . The Sundarbans are intersected by a complex network of tidal waterways , mudflats and small islands of salt - tolerant mangrove forests , and presents an excellent example of ongoing ecological processes . The general average height of the area is 10 m . This area has been created by deposition of silt by its numerous rivers namely , Hoogly , Matla River , Jamira River , Gosaba River , Saptamukhi River , Haribhanga River and their tributaries . The formation of the delta is an ongoing process and new bars and islands are being created along the rivers and at the river mouth . A large section of the area remains under water during incoming times .
Tennessee in the American Civil War
There was little heavy industry in the South but the Western Iron District in Middle Tennessee was the largest iron producer in the Confederacy in 1861 . One of the largest operations was the Cumberland Iron Works , which the Confederate War Department tried and failed to protect .
