Cincinnati in 1866 was among the largest cities in the country and the biggest city in the Ohio Valley, having grown rapidly on the strength of river commerce and manufacturing. The Ohio River waterfront was lined with steamboat landings and warehouses, and the city's breweries, pork packing houses, and furniture and clothing shops drew workers from Germany and Ireland in large numbers. The Civil War had ended only the year before, and the city had served as a major supply and hospital center for Union armies, so the postwar economy was still adjusting to peacetime demand. Residents knew the city as the Queen City, a nickname that reflected its position as the commercial center of the region.
