Cincinnati was founded in 1788 by John Cleves Symmes and Colonel Robert Patterson. It was earlier named "Losantiville meaning "the city opposite the mouth of the Licking River." Arthur St. Clair, the governor of the Northwest Territory, changed its name to "Cincinnati" in 1790, in honor of the Society of the Cincinnati, of which he was a member. The society honored General George Washington, who was considered a latter day Cincinnatian. In 1802, Cincinnati was chartered as a village and David Ziegler, a Revolutionary War veteran from Germany, became its first mayor. In 1819, it was incorporated as a city.
