This was bestowed, probably, in recognition of the fine situation, the lovely surroundings, the excellent climate, the fertile soil of the neighborhood, and the bright prospects for the future greatness of the city, and also in appreciation of the early development of enterprise, culture, refinement, and prosperity among the citizens. When and by whom it was originated the writer is unable to state. It has been used for near sixty years in connection with this city.โโฃ โฃ โฃ For more background on Cincinnatiโs lessor known nicknames as well as historical images, maps and prints of The Queen City visit the @CincyMapCollection website linked in bio. โฃโฃ โฃโฃ โฃโฃ โฃ โฃ โฃ #cincymapcollection #ohiohistory #queencity #cincinnati โฃ#cincy #cincyhistory #cincinnatihistory #prints #harpersweekly #queencityhistory #porkopolis #parisofamerica #19thcentury #historiccincinnati #covingtonky https://www.instagram.com/p/CPzU_l7BFwH/?utm_medium=tumblr
