Cincinnati is the third largest city in Ohio. As the first major US city founded after the American Revolution, as well as its first major inland city, it is considered the first “purely American city.†Though its influence has fallen off since its heyday in the 19th Century, it still carries political importance, as well as being a major sports hub, home of the baseball Reds and NFL Bengals. The city can boast on its art museum, which offers fine works of European and modern artists, as well as great examples from classical antiquity. Its opera company is the second oldest in the US.
