CINCINNATI
Located directly across the
Ohio River from Covington,
Kentucky, Cincinnati is one of the
State of Ohio's larger cities along with Columbus and
Cleveland.
One of
America's early boomtowns, Cincinnati expanded rapidly in the early 19th century to become the first major inland city in the country. Today, as then, it's renowned for its hard-working, public spirited citizens.
This is a city of dedicated sports fans (some say fanatics), as baseball's Cincinnati Reds and football's Cincinnati Bengals are hometown teams. Other major attractions for locals and visitors include the Cincinnati Tennis Masters, the city's annual flower show, and its
German-oriented Oktoberfest, the largest one in
North America.
