It’s survived economic upheaval and repeated attempts by Cincinnati to gobble it up. Today, the city of Norwood is home to state-of-the-art office complexes, modern shopping centers, and revitalized neighborhoods. Here are 7 fun facts about the city, and don't forget to check out our entire Norwood Collection.
1. It has a Native American mound
Earthen mounds created by Native Americans are fairly common in the Tristate, with the most recognized being the ones at Ft. Ancient in Warren County and Serpent Mound in Adams County. Newtown also has a few well-known earthworks.
However, Norwood also has a Pre-Columbian mound. Located near the water tower, it’s just off Montgomery Road on, appropriately, Indian Mound Avenue. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It has never officially been excavated, but it is believed that the Cincinnati Art Museum has some artifacts from the mound in its collection from an unofficial dig in the 1800s.
2. It’s completely surrounded by Cincinnati
Norwood is an enclave, in other words, bordered on all sides by another city, in this case, Cincinnati. Starting in 1902, Cincinnati made several attempts to annex Norwood. Shortly after the first attempt failed, the village of Norwood incorporated as a city.
The last annexation attempt by Cincinnati was in 1987, just after the Norwood General Motors assembly plant closed. This time around, though, Norwood considered the idea. However, Cincinnati mayor Charlie Luken scuttled the plan feeling his community would simply be taking on someone else’s problems. New economic growth has come to Norwood since then in the form of several new office parks and shopping centers.
3. It has a university
Well, at least part of one. Most of Xavier University is in Cincinnati, but part of the campus, the eastern end, is in Norwood. That’s also where most of the university’s growth has been in the past few years and will be moving forward it would appear.
4. Norwood was the garden spot of Hamilton County in the late 1800s
Norwood is still known as the Gem of the Highlands, a distinction that goes way back. From the book Cincinnati & Vicinity, published in 1898:
“It is one of the beautiful and thriving residence places in the vicinity of the city. Floral Avenue, its prettiest thoroughfare, is one mile long, 120 feet wide, and is paved with asphalt.” And:
“It is a beautiful residence suburb, with many handsome homes, good streets, numerous churches and splendid schools. It has a town hall, electric light plant, and waterworks.”
5. The ill-fated Cincinnati Subway was going to run through Norwood
One of Norwood’s most famous features, of course, is the Lateral, the section of highway that runs through the city and connects I-71 with I-75 in Bond Hill. Originally, though, the right-of-way that now contains the Lateral and I-75 south into Cincinnati was to be used by the since-abandoned subway system. It was to enter Norwood north of Dana and follow what is now I-71 for about a mile before heading north under Beech Street before turning west and eventually following what is now the Lateral's path. Two stops were planned for Norwood: Forest near Harris and one on Montgomery Road. In the 1960s, of course, the freeways took the land set aside for the subway.
6. It’s the second largest city in Hamilton County
Though it’s surrounded by Cincinnati, Norwood has a population of over 19,000 making it the second largest city in Hamilton County. Forest Park is right behind Norwood with just over 18,000 residents.
7. For its first 61 years, it had a different name
The area now known as Norwood was first settled by non-natives in 1794. By 1809, more settlers had arrived. Soon, a tavern called Mother Goose’s, a general store, and about a dozen houses occupied the settlement, which became known as Sharpsburg. It was named after the owner of the general store.
In 1869, the town was renamed. A large farm north of town had been acquired by three men, S. H. Parvin, Col. P. P. Lane, and L. Bolles who planned to develop the site as an extension of Sharpsburg. However, Mrs. Bolles felt the name Sharpsburg wasn’t pretty enough for the growing community and suggested Norwood, a truncation of Northern Woods, reflecting the surrounding area.
Early in 1870, it became official as the Post Office and railroad station took the name of Norwood. In 1888, the village was incorporated.
Just think, we all almost drove on the Sharpsburg Lateral.
The marital crisis I was going through came to and end when Dr Isikolo got involved. Just like every other couples out there, we had our differences and I ensure I did my best to lead her right, provide for her and my kids and also protected them. We both made sacrifices to ensure we survived the union until she started acting up and deliberately had so many fights with me. The home became unpleasant for everyone else including my children. She was being manipulated by a friend who had been divorced and wanted to also ruin my marriage. I had to contact Dr Isikolo and he responded and did his best to end the issues. He restored the love and connection between us and I can tell now that whatever illusion my wife was under has been taking away and she is a better woman now. The result of what Dr Isikolo did for me that manifested after two days was what amazed me. I and my household remain grateful. I appeal to anyone who needs help to fix their relationships and marital problems to contact Dr Isikolo because the solution is sure. review his webpage (https://isikolo-temple.com) text him on WhatsApp via +2348133261196
I promised Dr. Odunga to always post his testimony and I really want to say “Thank You” to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it when he told me he would give me the numbers and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream coming into reality. I had won $768.4M. Thank you Dr Odunga.

My husband whom I built my life with for 23 years left me and the kids without a word. Everything came crashing down on me and I reached out to our loved ones and no one could help. There came a time he filed for divorce even when we had no issues or ever fought over anything disastrous. Dr Isikolo came to my rescue and fixed the problem I had with my man. He reunited us back together again and he returned home to us. Indeed life is mysterious and I never thought I would experience what I did went through but all thanks to Dr Isikolo who worked for me and assured me of the positive results after 48 hours which indeed came to pass as he promised. He can as well fix your problems if you contact him now. Text him on WhatsApp him on +2348133261196 or click on his webpage and see more details about his good works. https://isikolo-temple.com
