About Cincinnati, Ohio
Cincinnati ( SIN-sih-NAT-ee; colloquially nicknamed Cincy) is the most populous city in Hamilton County, Ohio, United States, and its county seat. Settled in 1788, the city is located on the northern side of the confluence of the Licking and Ohio rivers, the latter of which marks the state line with Kentucky. The third-most populous city in Ohio with a population of 309,317 at the 2020 census (after Columbus and Cleveland), Cincinnati serves as the economic and cultural hub of the tri-state Cincinnati metropolitan area, Ohio's most populous metropolitan area and the nation's 30th-largest at over 2.3 million residents.
Throughout much of the 19th century, Cincinnati was among the top 10 U.S. cities by population. The city developed as an inland port for cargo shipping by steamboats, located at the crossroads of the Northern and Southern United States, with fewer immigrants and less influence from Europe than East Coast cities in the same period. However, it received a significant number of German-speaking immigrants, who founded many of the city's cultural institutions. It later developed an industrialized economy in manufacturing. Many structures in the urban core have remained intact for 200 years; in the late 19th century, Cincinnati was commonly referred to as the "Paris of America" due mainly to ambitious architectural projects such as the Music Hall, Cincinnatian Hotel, and the Roebling Suspension Bridge.
Greater Cincinnati has the 28th-largest economy in the U.S. and the fifth-largest in the Midwest, home to Fortune 500 companies Kroger, Procter & Gamble, GE Aerospace, Western & Southern, Fifth Third Bank, Cincinnati Financial, Cintas and American Financial Group. The United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit is based in the city. Institutions of higher education in Cincinnati include Xavier University and the University of Cincinnati, which is among the largest universities in the country by enrollment. The city's major league professional sports teams include the Cincinnati Bengals (NFL), Cincinnati Reds (MLB) and FC Cincinnati (MLS).
