February 23, 2021 It took some time for buses to catch on in Cincinnati, as track-bound streetcars ruled the roads into the 1920s.

Patterson & Sons Company, which had been founded by a man who escaped slavery.

He escaped and made his way north, settling in Highland County, Ohio, located along one of the major thoroughfares of the Underground Railroad. His skills as a blacksmith landed employment at a local carriage company. He launched his own carriage works in 1865 through a partnership with a white investor, James P. Lowe, and the company did a lot of business in Cincinnati.
