Excerpt from King's Pocket-Book of Cincinnati The name of Cincinnati was given in 1790, when St. Clair came to the place as governor of the North-west Territory. Cincinnati was incorporated as a city in 1819, and from that time has been a great centre, and holds a high rank among American cities in every depart ment of trade, culture, influence, and wealth. A single lifetime has covered the existence of Cincinnati; for the first white child born in the place (william Moody, March 17, 1790) died in 1879.
