Is it true that Alexander the Great founded Alexandria in Egypt?

Yes. Multiple reference sources state that Alexandria in Egypt was founded by Alexander the Great, including an encyclopedia entry giving 331 BC and a 19th-century account giving 332 BC. A historical dictionary says he made arrangements for its founding.
