Geography

Cincinnati is in the Ozarks on the southern edge of the Springfield Plateau near the Boston Mountains. Cincinnati is on Arkansas Highway 59, approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) north of Summers on U.S. Route 62 and 1.5 miles (2.4 km) east of the Oklahoma border. Cincinnati Creek flows past the east side of the community.[3]

History

In the early years before 1857, Cincinnati was first known as Buzzard Roost, then Silvia. This early settlement was such a thriving center of commerce that people came from Fayetteville for supplies.[4]

Three of Cincinnati's inhabitants died during the 2010 New Year's Eve tornado outbreak. Another died four days later from injuries sustained in the tornado.[5]
