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 will say to become great and successful depends on you and what you are willing to sacrifice. I will only smile and remain grateful whenever I look back to 2014, I worked two jobs to help support my family which was not really easy for me. I was doing research when I saw a recommendation of Dr Marcus who changed the story of my life. I talked with him, I provided all that was required for my spiritual work, and a few days later he gave me lottery numbers to play. I want to purchase a lottery ticket on Friday June 13th. I was informed 11 days after that I won the $66,000,000 jackpot that was how my life changed forever. Thanks to Dr Marcus I recommend him on any spiritual problem reach him + 2348110492028 or email drmacusspellcaster@gmail.com

I and my wife had a misunderstanding which led to a huge fight and she left home and returned back to her fathers house. I let my emotions got the best of me and stayed permanently away from her. Things grew worse when she started seeing another man and I never knew about it. I tried fixing the problem and getting her to return back home and she never came back. I later found out all that has been going on and decided to seek help to fix my marriage with her which made me contact Dr Isikolo. Just as expected he worked for me and the problem was fixed and I am reunited with my wife. She returned back home just after 48 hours as promised by Dr Isikolo. I am forever indebted to him for fixing the problem I had in my marriage. kindly contact him for fast and urgent Help, his webpage (https://isikolo-temple.com) or WhatsApp him on: +2348133261196

After I and my husband got married, we relocated to another city and we both got jobs and started working and living together happily. We never had any problems until a colleague of his started doing all she can to get my husband’s attention. I never knew all along what was going until he started sleeping out and making excuses. Things got out of control and he eventually stopped attending to my needs. I knew at that point I needed help so I contacted Dr Isikolo and explained everything to him. He told me all that has been going and promised to fix the problems for me which he did. He cast a love reunion spell for me which reunited i and my husband and he started being the man I always loved him to be just after 48 hours Dr Isikolo worked for me. We are both happy now and it would not have been possible if not for Dr Isikolo. Contact him if you need any help.
