About Cincinnati
Cincinnati, 'The Queen City', is a city in Southwestern Ohio on the Ohio River.
John Cleves Symmes founded a settlement on the banks of the ‘Licking River’ in 1788. In 1790, Arthur St. Clair, the governor of the Northwest Territory, changed the name of the settlement to "Cincinnati" in honor of the Society of the Cincinnati, of which he was president.
The introduction of steam navigation on the Ohio River in 1811 and the completion of the Miami and Erie Canal helped the city grow to 115,000 citizens by 1850. The nickname "Porkopolis" was coined around 1835, when Cincinnati was the country's chief hog packing center, and herds of pigs traveled the streets. Called the "Queen of the West" by Henry Wadsworth, Cincinnati was an important stop on the Underground Railroad, which helped slaves escape from the South.
As of the 2000 census, Cincinnati had a total population of 331,285, making it the third largest city in Ohio. It has a much larger metropolitan area covering parts of Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, with nearly two million residents. It is home to both the Reds (Major League Baseball) and the Bengals (National Football League.
