There have been a lot of “firsts” in Cincinnati, Ohio. We’re proud to have the first Major League Baseball Team in 1869 - the Cincinnati Red Stockings aka The Cincinnati Reds.
The author left out that Cincinnati was home to the FIRST Wine Production in 1823 by Nicholas Longworth who hailed from Newark, NJ to Ohio in 1804. Ohio was the leading wine producer in the 1800’s, when they produced 33% of the wines in the U.S.
Besides me, there’s another New Jersey to Ohio connection!
By the way, my husband got me 2-Todd Frazier bobble heads for my birthday last month (NJ born-OH Cinci-Reds-All-Star-Home-Run-Champ). Woo-Hoo!

Cincinnati had the first professional baseball team with the Cincinnati Red Stockings in 1869. How many other things started here?
