Over-the-Rhine

This Cincinnati neighborhood’s name comes from Germans who settled the area in the mid-19th century. Many walked to work across bridges over the Miami and Erie Canal, which separated the area from downtown Cincinnati. The canal was nicknamed “the Rhine” in reference to the river Rhine in Germany, and the newly settled area north of the canal as “Over the Rhine”. In German, the district was called über den Rhein. — Excerpt from Wikipedia
