The city is nestled in the valleys and hills along the Ohio River in Southwestern part of Ohio. The town Losantiville (later to be known as Cincinnati) was founded in 1788 by Mathias Denman, Robert Patterson and Israel Ludlow. The name was changed by General Arthur St. Clair to Cincinnati in honor of the Society of Cincinnati, an organization of Revolutionary War officers founded by George Washington. In 1802, Cincinnati was chartered as a village, and in 1819 incorporated as a city. Large numbers of Germans immigrated to Cincinnati, giving the city a rich European heritage. Cincinnati is known as the "Queen City of the West," which was made famous by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in his poem "Catawba Wine." Please take the time to look around for the proper category
