Etymology

Cincinnati comes from Cincinnatus, a famous Roman farmer who left his fields to lead his city in a time of danger and then quietly returned to his farm. After the American Revolution, a group of veterans called the Society of the Cincinnati named the town to honour that story, so the name stands for serving your country and then going back to ordinary life.
