Cincinnati is Ohios third largest city and the largest metro region, and lies on the north bank of the Ohio River in Southwest Ohio in the USA.

Cincinnati is a distinctly Midwestern city, and it has been wrapped up in every phase of American history. It was one of the US early boomtowns, and the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood is the largest National Historic District in the country. Today, its part of a fast-growing metro area, and home to a remarkable blend of industry and architecture. Downtown Cincinnati is surrounded by picturesque foothills that add a beautiful backdrop to the Queen City and its legendary skyline - celebrated in the opening credits of television show WKRP in Cincinnati.

Formerly known as Losantiville, the city was renamed Cincinnati by the first governor of the Northwest Territory, Arthur St. Clair, in honor of the Society of the Cincinnati, a society named after Roman consul Cincinnatus and founded at the end of the Revolutionary War.

The citys early economy was based on the pork industry, and this was celebrated in the summer of 2000 with the Big Pig Gig, during which large flying pig statues took up residence along the citys main thoroughfares.

Cincinnati also has a charming riverboat heritage(Tall Stacks Festival) that dates back to the days when large, steam and paddle-wheel driven vessels were used to transport locally produced pork products.

Baseball is another Cincinnati tradition, and the Cincinnati Reds were the first professional baseball team in the US.

Recently, Cincinnati has seen some large scale revitalization projects, such as the construction of Great American Ballpark and Paul Brown Stadium, and the reconstruction of Fountain Square in Cincinnati.


Newport is a city on the Ohio River in Northern Kentucky. Founded in the 1790s by James Taylor, Jr., Newport is named after British Admiral Christopher Newport, who helped to found the Jamestown colony in 1607. In its early years, Newport was home to an army post, which helped to spur the towns growth. Today, it is proximity to Cincinnati that provides the spur, as Newports hotels and riverfront area draw visitors from the Queen City.
