History of Over-The-Rhine

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The history of Over-the-Rhine is almost deep as the history of Cincinnati. Over-the-Rhine's built environment has withstood many demographic and cultural changes. The term "Over-the-Rhine" originates from the reference to the Miami-Erie Canal as the Rhine River of Germany. An early reference to the canal as "the Rhine" appears in the 1853 book White, Red, Black, in which traveler Ferenc Pulszky wrote, "The Germans live all together across the Miami Canal, which is, therefore, here jocosely called the 'Rhine.' " In 1875 writer Daniel J. Kenny referred to the area exclusively as "Over the Rhine." He noted, "Germans and Americans alike love to call the district 'Over the Rhine.' "
