Cincinnati is a city in southwestern Ohio, in the United States of America,
that lies on the Ohio River. It is the county seat of Hamilton County.
As of 2005, Cincinnati's population was 308,728, making it the third largest
city in Ohio and the 55th largest in the United States. It has a much larger
metropolitan area, commonly called "Greater Cincinnati", which covers parts of
Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. As of July 1, 2005, the U.S. Census Bureau
estimates that the Cincinnati-Middletown-Wilmington Combined Statistical Area
has a population of 2,113,011 (making it the 20th largest in the country) and is
growing at a rate of about one percent annually. Greater Cincinnati is the 25th
largest metropolitan area in America. It is home to major-league sports,
including America's first professional baseball team, a National Football League
team, and the historic Cincinnati Masters.
It is considered to have been the first major American "boomtown", rapidly
expanding in the heart of the country in the early nineteenth century to rival
the coastal metropolises in size and wealth. However, by the end of the century,
its growth unexpectedly stopped and it was surpassed in population by many other
inland cities.
Cincinnati is also known for the distinction of having the largest collection of
nineteenth-century Italianate architecture in the country, primarily
concentrated in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood, just north of downtown.
