CINCINNATI

Cincinnati Big Pig Gig -

People smile about the idea of a "Big Pig Gig." But Cincinnati would not be the city it is without pigs. Early in the 19th century farmers in the country surrounding the city raised pigs and corn, a combination that produced excellent meat and livelihood for the many German people emigrating to the city. By the 1820s, the bustling port of Cincinnati made it possible to transport pork more rapidly to consumer markets. Cincinnati businesses sprang up around the pork-packing industry.
