The City of Cincinnati
Founded in 1788 on the banks of the Ohio River, Cincinnati is a vibrant metropolitan area of nearly 2 million people that is consistently ranked as one of the best places in America to live and work.
Cincinnati boasts many cultural attractions, such as its world- class zoo and botanical gardens, a symphony orchestra and several museums, including a natural history museum, art museum and the recently opened National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. The Aronoff Center for the Arts and the Contemporary Arts Center present an impressive schedule of outstanding performances and visual exhibits.
Cincinnati is also a big-time sports town, home to the Cincinnati Reds, the oldest professional baseball team, and the National Football League’s Cincinnati Bengals. In addition, the University of Cincinnati Bearcats field successful teams in many sports, and enjoy a fierce rivalry with teams from neighboring universities. Area venues also host teams in several minor-league sports, including basketball, hockey and indoor football.
The University of Cincinnati is located just minutes from downtown, and three interstate highways provide convenient access to most parts of the city and its suburbs, including attractions in nearby Kentucky and Indiana. The Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport offers direct flights to hundreds of domestic and international destinations. |
