I haven't played HL1 before and I just got HL2. Can anyone explain what happened in HL1 and the significance of places like Ravenhom or City 17(Without any HL2 spoilers)

Half-Life 1 was set twenty years prior to Half-Life 2, in a New Mexico research facility called Black Mesa. At Black Mesa, they did experiments on everything from designing weapons for the military to working with teleportation. One of their teleport experiments goes bad, opens a rift to an alien dimension, and creatures start pouring in and killing scientists.
As Gordon Freeman, you have to stop the aliens, the US military--now intent on killing anyone at Black Mesa, in addition to the aliens--and save your colleagues. At the end of the game, you head to the aliens' own dimension and kill their leader, but doing so unleashes massive energies that tear more rifts between your two dimensions.
A mysterious man in a suit appears to you and offers you a choice: work for him or die. Then he puts you in stasis for twenty years.
You wake up in City 17, an Eastern European city. You're far from home, you've been out of it for who knows how long (because really, you have no idea when you begin the game), and the future is very strange. It's up to you to figure it out from there.
Ravenholm is a small town on the outskirts of City 17. You will find out more about it when you play the game.
