Cincinnati was founded in 1788 by John Cleves Symmes and Colonel Robert Patterson. It was originally called Losantiville, a name created to mean "city opposite the estuary of the Licking River".
That mouthful of a name lasted only two years. In 1790, it was renamed Cincinnati by Arthur St Clair, the governor of the then Northwest Territory. St Clair was a member of the Society of Cincinnati, a historical organization named after Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, a historical figure from Roman times.
Cincinnati covers 79.6 sq mi (210 sq km). It includes hills and low ridges with views of the Ohio River. Located in the Midwest, it experiences a transitional climate between humid subtropical and humid continental. July is the warmest month, when the average temperature can reach 86.4°F (30.22°C). Coldest month is January, when the termometer goes down to 21.3°F (-5.9°C).
