In Cincinnati's case, it's a long tradition of Big Business union-hating and religious conservatism. These days, however, the central city is a Democratic stronghold.

Some of these cities, in particular Cincinnati, are places where it's quite easy to live a comfortable suburban lifestyle in a nice, relatively new home with a lot of land on a relatively low income. Ditto for Fort Worth. That dovetails well with voting Republican.

The Cincinnati area has a very high cost of living though, for some reason.
