There Are 6 Other Places Called Cincinnati in America

Cincinnati, Iowa

We may be biased ‘round these parts, but Cincinnati is a really great name for a city. Apparently, over the years, other folks thought the same thing as there are six places in the United States named Cincinnati. Most, it seems, were named for the original starting in the middle of the nineteenth century.

Cincinnati, California

Not to be confused with the neighborhood of California in Cincinnati, this tiny community, which no longer exists, was a mining town in Northern California. It was located along what is now California Route 193 between Kelsey and Spanish Flat. 

The local neighborhood and the former mining settlement may be related though. According to the 1987 book California on the Ohio, by Steve Hill, California, Ohio was platted in 1849 by Joseph Gutherie, John W. Brown, and Thomas J. Murdock, even though the area had been settled about 50 years earlier.

According to Hill, the trio decided to plan the town after giving up on being prospectors in the Gold Rush. It’s reasonable to assume that they gave Cincinnati, California its name before heading back east to lay out the town of California, just east of Cincinnati.

Cincinnati, Iowa

Like the one in California, Cincinnati, Iowa also started as a mining community, though it was coal, not gold, they were pulling from the ground. The town was platted in 1855 and was named by J.H.B. Armstrong, a former resident of Cincinnati, Ohio. Roughly two miles from the border with Missouri, the town currently has about 350 residents.

Cincinnati, Missouri

Speaking of the Show-Me State, Missouri also has a Cincinnati. There’s no town there now, though there was at one time. From 1886 to 1904 it had a post office. It was also the site of an inn, as well as a Catholic church. It was named in 1833 by James and Sarah Wells who had moved to the area from Cincinnati, Ohio. Today, it is an unincorporated part of Ralls County along the Salt River about 25 miles southwest of Hanibal, Missouri.

Cincinnati, Indiana

Located 16 miles southwest of Bloomington, Indiana, and 144 miles west of Cincinnati, Ohio, this village is an unincorporated part of Center Township in Greene County, Indiana. A post office was established in 1874 and operated until 1931. The village was named by a Cincinnati, Ohio resident who said it reminded him of his hometown based on the surrounding hills and the abundance of whiskey. While it has only around 100 residents now, Cincinnati, Indiana is the home of Eastern Greene High School, as well as a branch of the County Library. 

Cincinnati, Indiana

No, that’s not a typo, there are indeed two places in Indiana called Cincinnati, though this second one exists in name only. It’s in an area of Washington Township in Parke County. According to a book called A History of Parke and Vermillion Counties published in 1913, there was a lot of business being conducted between this part of Indiana and Cincinnati, Ohio in the mid-1800s. Likely someone from the Queen City gave the area its name. There’s no indication that any permanent settlement was located in that specific area though.

Cincinnati, Arkansas

Located in Washington County, Arkansas, this is the largest of the other Cincinnati's. It boasts a population of 942 (sa-lute!). It’s located along Arkansas Route 59 near Cincinnati Creek. Formerly known as Silvia and Buzzard Roost, it became Cincinnati in 1857. It was quite a bustling little town in the late 1800s, with a wagon and farm implement maker, millers,  a few tanneries, a blacksmith, harness shop, an undertaker, and a hotel. It also claimed two churches, a doctor, a dentist, a druggist, a school, and a Masonic Lodge. A newspaper called the Argus Weekly started around 1900, and the town had its own phone company from around that time until 1940. In 2010, the tiny community was devastated by a tornado but has since been rebuilt.

I was going through a dark phase of my life when Dr Lukas came to my aid and fix the problems i had in my marriage. I had gone through to wrong edges to start a family with my wife and i felt i knew it all and i had everything working out for me until i lost my marriage due to the fact that an enemy came to destroy all i have built. My wife left me and i was shattered because what led to the break up isnt something that could ever warrant her to leave but she left and went on with another. I couldn’t do nothing so seek help from Dr Lukas who came to my aid and fix the issues i had with my woman and now she is back and everything is better for us both.

With my experience working with Dr Isikolo, i came to the conclusion there are very good and honest people out there who can truly do all they can to fix whatever problems you have even when they are not known to you visibly or see them in person. I lost my marriage for not being able to fully what it means to lead a woman right and accept the fact that they are wired in a way we men can never understand. I had to seek help from Dr Isikolo knowing my wife is a good woman whom i cant loose to anyone else. It was a tough situation for me though and too many things was revealed to me while he was helping me to fix the problems and i got the effect of the result just after 48 hours as he assured me and i have my wife back home to me. Dr Isikolo is the best option you can choose to restore love and connection between you and your partner and get back them back to your lives and be happy together forever.

I met my wife when I was working and living in Alaska. Ever since we got married, it has been all good till she decided to go for a summit in another state where she met someone who became closer to her and eventually he eloped with her. All my efforts to get back home to me was all in vain and her family did their best to reunite us but nothing worked. Just like everyone else, I came in contact with Dr Isikolo and he eventually did wonders and now my wife is back to me. It was revealed that she was hypnotized by the guy who eloped with her.  I am glad I never let my emotions get the best of me to have ended my marriage with her. Dr Isikolo is a strong spell caster and trust him when he says the results will manifest just after 48 hours.
