PRINT DESCRIPTION : Cincinnati, in Hamilton County is in southwestern Ohio on the northern bank of the Ohio River. It is situated on two plateaus that extend inland from the Ohio River to a semicircular range of hills. Many of the city's residential sections are located in the hills, and the main business district is in a valley that bisects the city. Factories and railroad yards are concentrated along Mill Creek, which traverses the valley. Among the sports and recreation facilities in the area are Riverfront Stadium (home of the major league Reds baseball and Bengals football teams) and Riverfront Coliseum in Cincinnati, and nearby Kings Island Amusement Park. Cincinnati is also a base for steamboat tours of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. The first permanent white settlement on the site of present-day Cincinnati was established in 1788. The community was called Losantiville, a name coined from French and Latin terms and referring to its location opposite the mouth of the Licking River. In 1789, Fort Washington was built by United States army troops. The following year the village was renamed Cincinnati in honor of the Society of Cincinnati (an organization of officers of the American Revolution 1776-1783) and became the seat of newly established Hamilton County. The last of three campaigns launched from Fort Washington finally defeated the area's Native Americans, who relinquished most of their land in the Treaty of Greene Ville (1795). Cincinnati was chartered as a village in 1802 and incorporated as a city in 1819. In the early 19th century shipping activities increased steadily particularly after the introduction in 1811 of steam navigation on the Ohio River. The Miami Canal, completed in 1827, further stimulated commerce and manufacturing in the city. The first railroad here began operation in 1843, and by 1850, with a population of about 115,000, Cincinnati was known as the Queen City of the West. Many Germans settled in the city in this period. In the 1850s, Cincinnati was a station on the Underground Railroad, a network for helping slaves escape from the South, and during the American Civil War (1861-1865) the majority of Cincinnati citizens remained loyal to the Union, though the city was located on the Mason-Dixon Line, and was the scene of many conflicts over the issue of slavery. Severe floods damaged the city in 1883 and 1884 and again in 1937. In 1884, public discontent with corrupt municipal officials led to an outbreak of mob violence; some 45 people were killed and much property was destroyed. A reform movement led to the establishment in 1924 of a city-manager type of government. An intensive urban redevelopment and renewal program was undertaken in various areas of Cincinnati during the 1960s and 1970s. A NINETEENTH CENTURY VIEW OF AMERICA ! VERY HARD TO FIND!
