Cincinnati, Ohio
Cincinnati Background & Links
Content:
The City of Cincinnati has 364,000 residents and Greater Cincinnati has a
population approaching two million. Covering nearly 80 square miles, the city is
subdivided into the Central Business District and more than 50 additional
neighborhoods.
Originally founded as the town of Losantiville in 1788, Cincinnati was
renamed by Northwest Territory Commander General Arthur St. Clair in 1790 in
honor of the Society of Cincinnati, an officers' organization from the
Revolutionary War. An unknown frontier and Native American homeland prior to the
war, America's independence led to westward expansion and Cincinnati's
exploration and settlement.
In the 1800's, Poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow described the beauty of the
green hills surrounding Cincinnati and the Ohio River winding through the
valley. He dubbed Cincinnati "the Queen City of the West." A century
later, Winston Churchill called it America's "most beautiful inland
city."
