History

This section does not cite any sources. (February 2020)

In 1818, a Scottish immigrant named John Craig purchased a half section of 320 acres (1.3 km²) of Green Township from Elias Boudinot. He built an inn and tavern on the Harrison Pike. On March 21 1818, Craig laid out a town which he named after the Cheviot Hills in southern Scotland. He sold lots and growth began.

The town was incorporated as a village in 1901, and a city in 1931. Originally a farming community, today Cheviot is a residential suburb of Cincinnati.

On January 6, 2018, fireworks at the Cheviot Memorial Building Fieldhouse kicked off the city's bicentennial. Events planned throughout 2018 included a new water splash park at Harvest Home Park, a historical marker at Harvest Home and personal bricks located next to the cannon at the Memorial Building on Robb Avenue. In March 2018, members of the Cheviot Bicentennial Committee decided to restart the Cheviot Historical Society together with Cheviot History to preserve the history of Cheviot.

Culture

The city of Cheviot is home to much of the same German-American and other ethnic cultures that inhabit the surrounding Cincinnati area.[14] The city is known locally (and regionally) for its annual Harvest Home Fair. Since about 1855, the fair has been held each year on the weekend after Labor Day. The city incorporated the West Fest Street Festival in 2002, which has steadily grown in popularity. The annual event features local food, various booths/activities, children's rides, and live music. Cheviot is often recognized by locals as "The Heart of The West Side" (of Cincinnati) because of its urban yet small-town, friendly culture. The city features a concentrated variety of small businesses and pubs along its main thoroughfares. The city is part of the Cincinnati Public School district.
