Cincinnati ( SIN -s- NAT -ee or sin-sih- NAT -ee ) is a city in the state of Ohio USA and is the seat of government in Hamilton County. Located in 1788, the town is located on the north side of the Licking River and Ohio meetings. The city encourages the combined statistics area of ​​Cincinnati-Middletown-Wilmington, which has a population of 2,172,191 at the 2010 census. With a population of 301,301, Cincinnati is the third largest city in Ohio and 65th in the United States. It is the fastest growing economic power in the Midwestern United States based on the 28th largest percentage and metropolitan statistical region in the United States. Cincinnati also in one day drives two-thirds of the population of the United States.
In the nineteenth century, Cincinnati was an American boom in the heart of the country. Throughout the 19th century, it was listed among the top 10 US cities by population, only surpassed by New Orleans and older, settlements erected from the east coast of the United States; and the sixth largest city during the period covering reports from 1840 to 1860. Since Cincinnati was the first city established after the American Revolution and the country's first major hinterland, it was considered the first "pure" American city.
Cincinnati flourished with fewer European immigrants or influences than the eastern coastal towns interested in the same period; however, he received a large number of German immigrants, who founded many cultural institutions of the city. At the end of the 19th century, with the shift from steamers to railways that reduced freight, trade patterns had changed and Cincinnati's growth slowed. The city is surpassed in populations by other inland cities, especially Chicago, developed based on the exploitation of strong commodities, economies, and railroads; and St. Louis, for decades after the Civil War was the gateway to westward migration.
Cincinnati is home to three major sports teams, the Cincinnati Reds, the oldest team in Major League Baseball, the Cincinnati Bengals of the National Football League, and the FC Cincinnati United Soccer League team. The city's largest higher education institution, the University of Cincinnati, was founded in 1819 as a city college and is now ranked as one of the 50 largest universities in the United States. Cincinnati is home to historic architecture with many structures in the urban core that remain intact for 200 years. In the late 1800s, Cincinnati was often referred to as the "Paris of America", mainly because of ambitious architectural projects such as Music Hall, Cincinnatian Hotel, and Shillito Department Store. Cincinnati is the birthplace of William Howard Taft, the 27th President of the United States.

Histori
Cincinnati began in 1788 when Mathias Denman, Colonel Robert Patterson and Israel Ludlow landed at a place on the northern edge of Ohio across the mouth of Licking and decided to settle there. The original surveyor, John Filson, named it "Losantiville". In 1790, Arthur St. Clair, the governor of the Northwest Territory, changed the name of the settlement to "Cincinnati" in honor of the Cincinnati Society, which consists of a veteran of the Revolutionary War, in which it belongs; which in turn was named after Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, a dictator in the early Roman Republic who saved Rome from the crisis, and then retired to farm because he did not want to remain in power.
The introduction of steamboat on the Ohio River in 1811 opened its trade for faster delivery, and the city established commercial ties with St. Louis, Missouri and especially downstream New Orleans. Cincinnati was founded as a city on March 1, 1819. Exporting pork and hay products, it became a pork processing center in the region. From 1810 to 1830 the population nearly tripled, from 9,642 to 24,831. The perfection of Miami and the Erie Canal in 1827 to Middletown, Ohio encouraged further business, and entrepreneurs struggled to hire enough people to fill positions. The city suffered from a labor shortage to a large wave of immigration by Ireland and Germany in the late 1840s. The city grew rapidly over the next two decades, reaching 115,000 people in 1850.
Construction in Miami and the Erie Canal began on July 21, 1825, when it was called the Miami Canal, linked to its origins in the Great Miami River. The first section of the canal was opened for business in 1827. In 1827, the canal connected Cincinnati to nearby Middletown; in 1840, had reached Toledo. During this period of rapid and prominent expansion, Cincinnati residents began to refer to the city as the City of the Queen.
Industrial developments and years Gilded
After the steamers, trains are the main form of subsequent commercial transport to come to Cincinnati. In 1836, the Little Miami Railroad was hired. Construction soon begins thereafter, to connect Cincinnati with the Mad River and Lake Erie Railroad, and provide access to the port of Sandusky Bay on Lake Erie.
In 1859, Cincinnati outlined six tram lines; the cars are pulled by horses and the lines make it easier for people to get around town. In 1872, the people of Cincinnati were able to travel on the tram inside the city and move to a train car for a trip to the hill community. Incline Inclined Incline Company started transporting people to the top of Mount Auburn that year.
In 1880, the city government completed the Cincinnati Southern Railroad to Chattanooga, Tennessee. It is the only state-owned intercity train in the United States.
In 1884, anger over a murderous verdict in what many observers regarded as a clear murder case triggered the Courthouse riots, one of the most destructive riots in American history. For three days, 56 people were killed and more than 300 were injured. The unrest ended the regime of political boss John Roll McLean and Thomas C. Campbell in Cincinnati. In 1889, the Cincinnati tram system began transforming its horse-drawn cars into an electric tram.
During the Great Depression
The initial rejuvenation of the city center began in the 1920s and continued into the next decade with the construction of Union Terminals, post offices, and the Building of Large and Suburban Telephone Companies. Cincinnati experienced the Great Depression better than most American cities because of its size, largely due to the rise of river trade, which is cheaper than transporting goods by train. The 1937 flood was one of the worst in the nation's history and devastated many areas along the Ohio Valley. After that the city built a protective flood wall.

Society
Like all major cities in the United States, Cincinnati is packed with Americans, but also the Ulster Scots known as Scottish Scots, frontiersmen, and keelboaters. Most of the old residents of Cincinnati have kinship that roots along the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana tristate and deeper. The first Methodist class was founded around 1798, as many of the city's inhabitants were inspired by the Methodist preachers; among the institutions resulting from their efforts were the German Methodist Church and Christ's Hospital.
Cincinnati, located in the countryside, relies on trade with slave countries in the southern Ohio River as thousands of blacks settle in the free state of Ohio. Most of them are from Kentucky and Virginia with many of them fugitives seeking freedom in the North. Many come to find jobs in Cincinnati. In the years before the War, the majority of native-born whites in the city came from the northern states, mainly Pennsylvania. Although fifty-seven percent of whites migrate from free countries, twenty-six percent come from the southern states and they retain their cultural support for slavery. This quickly caused tension between the pro-slavery population and those who supported abolitionism and lifted restrictions on color-free people, as codified in the "Black Code" in 1804.
The Germans were among the earliest newcomers, migrating from Pennsylvania and the interior of Virginia and Tennessee. General David Ziegler replaces General St. Clair who leads at Fort Washington. After the end of the Northwest Indian War and the disappearance of Native Americans to the west, he was elected president of Cincinnati's first city (equivalent to a mayor) in 1802. Cincinnati was influenced by Irish, and Prussian and Saxon (northern Germany), seeking to emigrate away from crowds and disputes. In 1830 the population with German roots comprised 5% of the population, as many migrated from Pennsylvania; Ten years later, this increased to 30%. Thousands of German immigrants entered the city after the Prussian revolution of 1848 and in 1900, more than 60 percent of the population was of German background. Rough Irishmen, often organized Irishmen, and Germans, far removed from their Pennsylvania Pennsylvania relations, are being tackled together - city leaders must use strengthening measures against the arrival clashes.
The changing social conditions witnessed the unrest of 1829, when many blacks lost their homes and possessions. When Irishmen entered the city in the late 1840s, they competed with blacks at a lower economic level. White-led riots against blacks occurred in 1836, when the abolitionist press was twice destroyed; and in 1842. More than a thousand blacks left town after the riots of 1829. Blacks in Philadelphia and other major cities raised money to help refugees recover from destruction. By 1842 blacks had become better in the city; they defend their people and property in unrest, and work politically as well.
The emigrants, when discussed extensively, never surpassed the settlers in the population. Cincinnati has a remarkable preservative quality, despite the recent garment, pique flowers draw across the United States as major cities in the North, South, East and West. Waynesville, Ohio, hosts the annual Ohio Sauerkraut Festival, and Cincinnati hosts several major annual events commemorating connections to the Old World. Oktoberfest Zinzinnati, Bockfest, and Taste of Cincinnati featuring local restaurants.
The Jewish community of Cincinnati was developed by people from England and Germany. They developed the Reform of Judaism in response to the influence of the Enlightenment and made their new life in the United States. Isaac M. Wise Temple is the first Temple of Reformed Judaism that was built, breaking away from Conservative and Orthodox Judaism.
Society, in a finer sense, and then a larger aspect of society that also deals in business, both remain communal in Cincinnati compared to the major cities along the US coast. Cincinnati is a national city: The Stewart United States Courthouse registered with the NRHP is a federal court, the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, one of the thirteen US appeals courts. The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland Cincinnati Branch is located across the street from the East Fourth Street Historic District.

Dialect
Cincinnati speaks General American. Unlike other parts of the Midwest, Southwest Ohio shares some aspects of the vocal system with New Jersey New England. Cincinnati, it says, says too much "O" so that the effect is heard with a rounded "w", probably from living in Ohio whose four-letter name carries two "o" s. Most of the typical local features among the speakers floated as Midland American. There is also the influence of the South American dialect found in Kentucky. The northern German touch is heard in the local language: some residents use the word please when asking the speaker to repeat the statement. This usage is derived from German practice, when bitte (shortening formal, "Wie bitte?" Or "How please?" Is given word for word from German to English), used as a quick text to ask someone repeat.
Demographics
By 1950, Cincinnati had reached its peak population of over 503,000 inhabitants, but had lost the population in every census count ever since. In addition, industrial restructuring led to job losses by the end of the 20th century. According to the 2006 Census Bureau estimates, the population was 332,252, representing a small increase from 331,310 in 2005. The city officially challenged the original census number. Mayor Mark Mallory repeatedly stated that the city's population was 378,259, after a pending study conducted by a non-profit independent group based in Washington, D.C.
As estimated by the US Census Bureau July 2017, the population is 301,301, down nearly 30,000 from 2006. The number of Census Bureaus is officially done every new decade.

Politics
The city operates with a nine-member city council, whose members are widely elected. Prior to 1924, members of the City council were elected through the environmental system. The environmental system is subject to corruption due to partisan rules. From the 1880s to the 1920s, Republicans dominated city politics, with the political machine George B. "Boss" Cox exerting control.
The reform movement emerged in 1923, led by another Republican, Murray Seasongood. Seasongood founded the Charter Committee, which used a voting initiative in 1924 to replace the ward system with the current great system. They get approval by voters for a governmental form of government-council, where a smaller council (compared to the number of previous ward representatives) hires a professional manager to run the city's daily affairs. From 1924 to 1957, the council was elected by proportional representation and a single transfer ballot (STV). Starting with Ashtabula in 1915, several major cities in Ohio adopted this electoral system, which had the practical effect of reducing environmental bosses and the strength of political parties. For that reason, such groups are against it.
In an effort to reverse the charter provided for proportional representation, the opponents in 1957 fanned the fears of black political forces, as civil rights activism increased. The PR/STV system has allowed minorities to enter local politics and gain seats in the city council more than ever before, in proportion to their population share. This makes the government more representative of the citizens of the city. Overturning the charter, in 1957, all candidates had to run in one race for nine city council positions. The top nine selected voters ("9-X" system), are favored candidates who can appeal to the entire geographical area of ​​the city and reach out to its population with campaign materials. The mayor is elected by the council. In 1977, the thirty-three-year-old Jerry Springer, who later became a famous television talk show host, was chosen to serve a year as mayor.
Residents continue to work to improve their systems. In order for their votes to be more counted, starting in 1987, the top voters in the city council elections are automatically elected mayors. Beginning in 1999, the mayor was elected separately in general elections in general for the first time. The role of city managers in government is reduced. These reforms are called "strong mayor" reforms, to make society accountable to the electorate. Cincinnati politics included the participation of the Charter Party, a political party with the longest third winning history in local elections. On 5 October 2011, the Council became the first local government in the United States to adopt a resolution recognizing the freedom from domestic violence as a fundamental human right.
Racial relations
Due to its location on the Ohio River, Cincinnati is a border town in a free country, opposite Kentucky, which is a slave state. The citizens of Cincinnati play a leading role in abolitionism. Many fugitive slaves use Ohio in Cincinnati to escape to the North. Cincinnati has many stations on the Underground Railroad, but there are also slave catchers who escape the active in the city, which puts the escaped slaves at risk of recapture.
Due to its location in southern Ohio, Cincinnati also attracted settlers from Upper South, who traveled along the Ohio River to the area. The tension between abolitionists and supporters of slavery broke out in repeated violence, with white people attacking blacks in 1829. Anti-abolitionists attacked blacks in the city in a wave of destruction that resulted in 1,200 blacks leaving the city and state; they resettled in Canada. Riots and refugees were a topic of discussion across the country, and blacks organized the first Negro Convention in 1830 in Philadelphia to discuss the event.
White rioting against blacks occurred again in Cincinnati in 1836 and 1842. In 1836, a group of 700 pro-slavery men attacked the black neighborhood, as well as a press run by James M. Birney, the weekly anti-slavery publisher. Philanthropist. Tensions escalated after the 1850 congress of the Fugitive Slave Act, which required co-operation by citizens in free countries and increased penalties for failing to try to recapture escaped slaves.
Levi Coffin made Cincinnati the center of his anti-slavery efforts in 1847. Harriet Beecher Stowe lived in Cincinnati for some time, met with escaped slaves, and used their story as the basis for his novel Uncle Tom's Cabin. (1852). The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, opened in 2004 on the banks of Cincinnati in the middle of "The Banks" between the Great American Ballpark and Paul Brown Stadium, commemorates volunteers who help refugee slaves and their encouragement for freedom, as well as others. who has been the leader of social justice.
Located in a free country and attracting many European immigrants, Cincinnati has historically had a predominantly white population. In 1940, the Census Bureau reported city dwellers 87.8 percent white and 12.2 percent black.
In the second half of the 20th century, Cincinnati, along with other rust-belt cities, underwent extensive demographic transformations. In the early 21st century, the city's population was 40% black. Most of the white, working-class families who were the urban core during the European immigration boom of the late twentieth and early twentieth century moved to the newly built suburbs before and after World War II. Blacks, fleeing Jim Crow South's oppression in the hope of better social economic opportunities, have moved into this older urban neighborhood in their Great Migration to the North industry. The decline of industry in the late 20th century led to the loss of a lot of work, leaving many people in poverty. In 1968, national civil rights laws have raised hopes for positive change, but the killing of national leader Martin Luther King, Jr. resulting in riots in many black neighborhoods in Cincinnati; Black riots occurred in almost every major city in the US after the killing of the King.
More than three decades later, in April 2001, a racial riot broke out after police shot dead an unarmed black man, Timothy Thomas, during a foot pursuit to capture him, in large part due to a tremendous traffic warrant. After the 2001 riots, the ACLU, the Cincinnati Black Front, the city and its police approved a community-oriented policing strategy. This agreement has been used as a model across the country to build relationships between police and local communities.
On July 19, 2015, Samuel DuBose, an unarmed black motorist, was shot dead by Cincinnati Police Officer Ray Tensing, who was white after quitting regular traffic for the missing front plates. The legal process generated by the end of 2016 has been the focus of recurring national news media. Several peaceful protests involving the Black Lives Matter movement have been made. Tensing was charged with murder and voluntary murder, but the November 2016 trial ended with a cancellation of the trial after the jury was impasse. A re-trial begins in May 2017, which also ends with a mystery after the deadlock. The prosecutor then announced that they were not planning to try Tensing for the third time. The University of Cincinnati has settled with the DuBose family for $ 4.8 million and free tuition for each of 12 children.
