Book Description

Excerpt from The Suburbs of Cincinnati: Sketches, Historical and Descriptive The matter contained in all but the concluding chapter of these sketches appeared substantially in the Cincinnati Daily Gazette, during the years 1868-9. The original papers were prepared by the author with much care; and at the time of their appearance, as well as since, many desires were expressed for their publication in a more enduring form. Since the original sketches were written, great changes have occurred in the surroundings then considered by the extension of the city limits. On the twenty-eighth of February, 1870, the final transcripts and other papers were transmitted to the Secretary of State and the Recorder of Hamilton county for the annexation of all of Storrs township with the exception of the territory embraced within the incorporated village of Riverside. On the same day similar steps were taken for the annexation of the territory in Spencer township, lying between the eastern boundary of Cincinnati and the western boundary of the village of Columbia, including the village of Pendleton. The last papers for the annexation of Walnut Hills, Vernonvillage, Mount Auburn and Corryville, were transmitted on the twelfth day of March.
