About Cincinnati, Ohio
Cincinnati is the most populous city in Hamilton County, Ohio, United States, and its county seat. Two years after the founding of the settlement then known as "Losantiville", Arthur St. Clair, the governor of the Northwest Territory, changed its name to "Cincinnati", possibly at the suggestion of the surveyor Israel Ludlow, in honor of the Society of the Cincinnati. Cincinnati was platted and proliferated by American settlers, including Scotch Irish, frontiersmen, and keelboaters. (Wikipedia)
