History
The city was founded as Losantville in 1788, and was named “Cincinnati” in 1790 for the ” Gezelschap der Cincinnati,” an association of ex- American Revolutionary War officers who had returned to their civilian careers after the war ended. In that respect they followed the example of the Roman dictator Cincinnatus, who immediately got back behind the plow after a campaign led by him. The ex-officers regarded their former commander George Washington as a modern Cincinnatus because, like the Roman, he had no lust for power and therefore behaved in an exemplary manner.
After the construction of the Miami-en-Erie Canal, which connected the city to the Great Lakes, it quickly became a major center of shipping on the Ohio River. In 1850, the city had a population of 115,000, making it one of the two largest cities west of the Appalachians.
