Cincinnati is full of vibrant and rich history. Known as the "Queen City", Cincinnati has no shortage of interesting pieces of history that will keep you learning something new everyday. 

Cincinnati was founded in 1788 and named after Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus who was a hero of the Roman Republic in the fifth century and a model of civic responsibility.  

In the 19th century, Cincinnati was America’s meatpacking powerhouse which is how Cincinnati earned the nickname “Porkopolis” and is still fondly revered with statue pigs throughout the city and our annual “Flying Pig Marathon”.  

First held in 1976, Cincinnati has America’s largest Oktoberfest celebration that includes about 700,000 people featuring genuine German inspired food and beer, live music, a wiener dog race, and world’s largest chicken dance.  

Cincinnati is home to the first professional baseball team established in 1869, the Cincinnati Red Stockings, now known as the Cincinnati Reds.  

"UC is such a fun, vibrant community. We have so much to offer and there are many faces to UC, helping to ensure most anyone can fit in! We are all Bearcats.” 

Emilee Suchomski, Director of Admissions

“I am proud to be apart of such a diverse community of welcoming students with such a strong alumni network.” 

Grace Nonnamaker, Admissions Counselor

“If you weren't told this is a university, there is a 50% chance you wouldn't be able to tell you were on a college campus. Everything is so different, yet it merges so well together. There aren’t the same styles anywhere on campus. Everywhere you look and go is different than where you came. The architecture and greenspaces are a refreshing change from the average college campus.” 

Sam Clay, Admissions Counselor

“I am part of the UC community! And every person is very hardworking! It's not just the building that made the university. It is the people who work hard to make the campus home! UC gives me a chance to play different roles like studying as a student, working part-time as student staff, working for others as student leaders, and volunteering to help others! So, yes I am a proud Bearcat!” 

Yashvi Srivastava, Aerospace Engineering ‘24
