Cincinnati is a city in and the county seat of
Hamilton County, Ohio,
United States.[7] The third largest city in
Ohio and the 65th largest city in the United States, it had a population of 296,945 at the
2010 census. According to the census,[8] the population of the metropolitan area was 2,
214,954 - the 28th largest
Metropolitan Statistical Area (
MSA) in the United States and the largest centered in Ohio.[9]
Settled in 1788, the city is located on the border between Ohio and
Kentucky at the confluence of the
Ohio River and the
Licking River. Residents of Cincinnati are called Cincinnatians.[10]
In the early
19th century, Cincinnati was an
American boomtown in the heart of the country to rival the larger coastal cities in size and wealth, at one
point being the 6th largest city in the United States by population, surpassed only by the older, established settlements of the
Eastern Seaboard and
New Orleans.[11] Because it is the first major American city founded after the
American Revolution as well as the first major inland city in the country, Cincinnati is sometimes thought of as the first purely American city.[12] It developed with less
European immigration or influence than eastern cities in the same period; however, it received a significant number of
German immigrants, who founded many of the city's cultural institutions. By the end of the 19th century, with the shift from steamboats to railroads, Cincinnati's growth had slowed considerably and the city became surpassed in population by other inland cities,
Chicago and
St. Louis.
Cincinnati is home to two major sports teams, the
Cincinnati Reds, one of the oldest franchises in
Major League Baseball, and the
Cincinnati Bengals of the
National Football League.
The University of Cincinnati, founded in 1819, is one of the 50 largest in the United States.[13] Cincinnati is known for its historic architecture
. In the late 1800s, Cincinnati was commonly referred to as "
Paris of America," mainly due to significant architectural projects, like
Music Hall, the
Cincinnatian Hotel, and the
Shillito Department Store.[14]
