Ft. Mitchell is one of the many communities that make up the area known as Northern Kentucky, sometimes called “the southern side of Cincinnati.” The community sits between I-75 and I-275, bordered by Fort Wright, Villa Hills, Crescent Springs, and Edgewood. Here are six fun facts about Ft. Mitchell.
1. The city was planned in 1892
Although folks were living in the area since the late 18th century, it wasn’t until 1892 that an organized community started taking shape. That year, Buckeye Molding, Sand, Brick and Quarry Company. Inc. starred buying up and subdividing land. Other companies got in on the action as well, and within a decade, it was a thriving little village. The incorporation of the village was finalized on Valentine’s Day, 1910. The new town claimed 127 residents, two more than needed to incorporate under Commonwealth law.
2. It’s named for a Union soldier
Ft. Mitchell, the actual fort, was built in 1862 as one of seven such fortifications to protect Cincinnati and Southern Ohio from rebel forces during the Civil War. The Mitchell in the name comes from General Ormsby M. Mitchel (with one “L”), a professor at Cincinnati College (now the University of Cincinnati) who designed the fortifications. He was also a noted astronomer.
3. Ft. Mitchell fought I-75
Ft. Mitchell, the town, didn’t see any battles, but in the late 1940s, residents did clash with highway planners over what was then called the Greater Cincinnati Airport Highway. That road later became I-75. Property owners contended that the freeway would reduce property values and cut the community in half. According to reports at from a 1949 meeting, about 13 persons would have been affected by having the highway cut across or cut through their property.
4. It has the world’s only ventriloquism museum
The Vent Haven Museum is the world’s only museum dedicated to the art of ventriloquism. Its collection features over a thousand ventriloquist figures from twenty countries as well as hundreds of photographs and other pieces of memorabilia related to ventriloquism. The museum’s curator appeared on the Cincy Shirts Podcast in 2021.
5. The dead outnumber the living by a wide margin
Over 120,000 people are buried in the city’s three cemeteries. The living population of Ft. Mitchell is around 8,700. The town’s first cemetery was St. John's, which opened in 1867. Highland, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, opened in 1869. St. Mary's cemetery opened the following year. St Mary's was previously located in Devou Park. Why two Catholic cemeteries? One was for the German Catholics (St John's), and the other was for the Irish Catholics (St. Mary's).
6. Cincy Shirts' third location will be in Ft. Mitchell, opening July 2022.
The city is home to Cincy Shirts’ newest location! The store is located at 2501 Dixie Highway, near the corner of Orphanage Rd. The store features all the most popular Cincy Shirts designs as well as many Kentucky-focused tees.

All these years have been a regrettable year for me because my husband left me for another woman after we have gotten married for 9 years he left me with my two children and I have been calling him begging him to come back to me he refused I have done all I can but nothing works out for me I was like killing myself to see if my man will come back and take care of his children’s and I also think about if I have done this to myself will my husband come back and take care of his children’s I was still praying to God should touch his heart so he can come back nothing work out at all. I then try to forgot about my husband but I still Can’t do that so I decided to look for a help on internet and I saw a comment about how a lady testified what Dr Ughulu did for her, I brought her husband back to her and her kids, I was very interested in the comment and I send a message to Dr Ughulu to help me get my husband, and after I sent him a message in less than 3 minutes he replied you’re welcome my daughter. He asked me what brought me to the temple of solution. I really explained everything to him, and he said I shouldn’t worry that everything would be fine with me. I was very happy after he said that. So he did everything he could do and also told me what to do, I really did everything hopefully, It didn’t take 24 hours. My ex-husband sent me a message and started begging me for forgiveness and I really forgive my husband. Now he’s with me. We are living peacefully together. Thank you so much Dr Ughulu. I really appreciate all your efforts. Send WhatsApp message: +1(252) 409-1841 or website: https://drughulupowerfulsp.wixsite.com/my-site-ughulu or his email. drughulupowerfulspelltemple@gmail.com
