Cincinnati, located in southwestern Ohio on the Ohio River, is the third-largest city in the state. Founded in 1788 and incorporated as a city in 1819, it was named after the Society of the Cincinnati, which honoured George Washington, whom they likened to the Roman General Cincinnatus.
The city saw dramatic growth in the mid-1830s with the development of steamships and the completion of the Ohio and Erie Canal. It soon became a major shipping centre, primarily for the pork industry. Cincinnati’s location on the Ohio River has contributed not only to its prosperity but also its scenic charm. Winston Churchill once called Cincinnati “the most beautiful of America’s inland cities”.
The Ohio River serves as a scenic focal point for recreational activities. The vibrant Smale Riverfront Park offers green spaces, interactive fountains, and stunning views of the river and city skyline. The Newport Southbank Bridge, known as the Purple People Bridge, connects Cincinnati to Newport, Kentucky, providing a picturesque walk across state lines.
