Cincinnati is the third-largest city proper in the state of Ohio and seat
of Hamilton County in the United States. Settled in 1788, it is regarded as
the first ‘All-American’ city because it was the first city to be founded
after the American Revolution. The same is seconded by the fact that it was
also the first major inland city discovered and founded in the coastal
parts of the US. Cincinnati is famous for its extensive music scenes and
to-class architectural marvels, a reputation that it has upheld since 19 th century. Some highlights here are Cincinnati Music Hall and
the Great American Tower.
