That same year, Mathias Dunman purchased land from Symmes at the confluence of the Licking and Ohio Rivers; by December , Dunman, along with 11 families and 24 additional men, landed at present-day Yeatman's Cove and founded the City of Losantiville, which later became Cincinnati. Cincinnati's rich history is directly tied to both the physiographic and the cultural aspects of the Ohio River, which gave the early city significant access for settlement, trade and defense, and which later helped to propel the city to become a highly populated and diversified center from which further explorations of the United States were launched, and as a boomtown of industry and manufacturing.
Large-scale German and Irish immigration movements of the mids further increased the size and diversity of Cincinnati, and helped to establish and define its character and culture.
After St. Clair's Defeat at the hands of the Indians in many settlers fled Cincinnati, fearing that the natives would descend upon them. Despite the lack of order and the various safety concerns, hundreds of settlers continued to come to the town. They believed that they could make their fortunes by providing the soldiers and people traveling down the Ohio River with supplies.
By the summer of , there were thirty warehouses Cincinnati to meet these needs. With the success of Anthony Wayne against the American Indians at the Battle of Fallen Timbers in , more settlers arrived in the community, including a French pastry chef and a hairdresser. By early , a spinning wheel manufacturer, a brewer, a chair manufacturer, and a butcher all had opened up businesses. In , the year that the United States Army abandoned Fort Washington, the city had roughly one thousand civilian residents.
It continued to grow, reaching nearly ten thousand people by Cincinnati had emerged as a major city, primarily due to its strategic location on the Ohio River. During the nineteenth century, Cincinnati continued to grow. The Ohio River provided Cincinnati residents with numerous business opportunities. Hotels, restaurants, and taverns quickly opened to meet the needs of settlers traveling westward on the Ohio River.
Steamboats were manufactured and repaired in the city. Farmers brought their crops to the city to send down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to New Orleans, Louisiana, one of Ohio's major markets.
The Miami and Erie Canal made the trip from western Ohio to Cincinnati much easier and less expensive for local farmers. In the early s, Cincinnati developed into an important meatpacking center. Farmers brought their livestock to the city, where it was slaughtered, processed, and sold to western settlers or shipped to various markets.
Cincinnati was becoming the pork-processing center of the United States. Because of Cincinnati's association with meatpacking, the city became known as the "Porkopolis" of the United States. Cincinnati also played an important role in the intellectual and cultural development of Ohio during the first half of the nineteenth century.
In , Daniel Drake established the Medical College of Ohio, hoping to improve medical care on the frontier. Numerous literary figures, including Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of Uncle Tom's Cabin, lived in Cincinnati for at least part of their lives.
Beginning in the s, ethnic Germans began to settle in Cincinnati. German and Irish immigrants mixed with Americans from both North and South to create a very diverse and worldly population.
Some residents opposed the activities of other people in the city and actively campaigned to reform the community. The temperance movement targeted the Germans and the Irish, because they believed these groups were heavy drinkers. Ohio abolitionists concentrated their efforts in Cincinnati. Because it was located directly across the Ohio River from Kentucky, a slaveholding state, Cincinnati was an ideal site to publish newspapers and anti-slavery tracts to send to the South.
This location also meant that many fugitive slaves travelled across the Ohio River and through the city toward potential freedom in the North. Not all white Ohioans supported the abolitionists.
Many of these people feared that, if slavery ended, they would face competition from the freed African Americans. Race riots sometimes occurred, especially if whites feared that African Americans were gaining too much power or were infringing upon white opportunities. One such riot occurred in Cincinnati in , because Irish immigrants disliked competition from the African-American community.
During the Civil War, most residents of Cincinnati supported the United States, but a sizable number of people went south to fight for the Confederacy. Cincinnati Reds. Cintas Center.
