A post office was established at Cincinnati in 1874, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1934.[3] According to tradition, the community was named when a visitor told the innkeeper that the surrounding hills and whiskey made him recall his home in Cincinnati, Ohio.[4]

One night, during the first year of its existence, a drunken cattle buyer at the inn jokingly remarked that the place reminded him of his hometown, Cincinnati, Ohio, on account of its high hills and abundance of good whiskey.
