Cincinnati is a city in the U.S. state of Ohio, located north of the Ohio River at the Ohio- Kentucky border.
As the first major inland city in the country, it is sometimes thought of as the first purely American city, lacking the heavy European influence that was present on the east coast. Cincinnati is also known for having one of the larger collections of nineteenth-century Italianate architecture in the U.S.
