Winston Churchill once called Cincinnati "the most beautiful of America's inland cities." It's a compliment that speaks volumes about the beauty of the city's rich architecture, sweeping hills, breathtaking views and cultural heritage.   And it's a compliment that still rings true today: the city has found a compelling balance between its storied past and its resurgent present. Harriet Beecher Stowe began writing "Uncle Tom's Cabin" while living in Cincinnati, and now the remarkable National Underground Railroad Freedom Center is one of downtown's crown jewels. Professional baseball was born in Cincinnati in 1869, and now two state-of-the-art stadiums grace our riverfront. In 19th century Cincinnati, William Procter and James Gamble created the Procter & Gamble Company. Today, the city is home to 17 Fortune 1000 companies ripe with a diverse economic base and a highly skilled workforce, including Chiquita and Macy's. Visit Cincinnati USA and you'll find that rare city with both a rich cultural heritage and a new energy borne out of a commitment to renovation and revitalization. The expansion of the Duke Energy Convention Center as well as the Sharonville Convention Center, the redevelopment of Fountain Square at the center of downtown, progress on The Banks development along the Ohio River, all have worked to make Cincinnati more attractive to organizations throughout the world. The infrastructure, amenities and attractions are there. And a collaborative team effort from community and business leaders has created a truly welcoming environment for travelers from all over the globe.
