Dubbed “Porkopolis,” pork production in Cincinnati was big business. In the 1840 – ‘60’s, hogs ran the streets of downtown as they were herded into one of the 48 pork-packing warehouses located there at the time. Situated on the Ohio River, Cincinnati was an ideal spot for manufacturing. To the west, the river stretched to the Mississippi. To the east, the Ohio River flowed from Pittsburgh. And with all the farmland around, there were plenty of farmers who corralled their hogs through the streets of town. Procter & Gamble capitalized on that. They salvaged the fats and oils from the animals to make candles and soaps. Before long, Cincinnati became an industrious city known as Porkopolis.
