'''Price Hill''' is |
'''Price Hill''' is a region of [[Cincinnati, Ohio]] consisting of three [[List of Cincinnati neighborhoods|neighborhoods]]: '''East Price Hill''', '''West Price Hill''', and '''Lower Price Hill'''. The region is located in the western part of the city, neighbored by [[Sedamsville, Cincinnati, Ohio|Sedamsville]] and [[Riverside, Cincinnati, Ohio|Riverside]] to the south, [[Westwood, Cincinnati|Westwood]] and [[South Fairmount, Cincinnati, Ohio|South Fairmount]] to the north, and [[Queensgate, Cincinnati, Ohio|Queensgate]] to the west. Originally one of the oldest suburbs of Cincinnati, the region is predominately Catholic, having been an ethnic enclave for both Irish and German Catholics.<ref>[http://frontier.cincinnati.com/communities/display.asp?commName=Price+Hill Price Hill Community], Cincinnati.com</ref> Price Hill's neighborhoods are residential communities, having a combined population of 36,271 at the 2020 census.<ref name="2020 East Price Hill"/><ref name="2020 West Price Hill"/><ref name="2020 Lower Price Hill"/> |

[[File:Price hill incline 1906.jpg|thumb|left|upright|The incline at Price's Hill, c. 1906]] |
|||
Before the [[Symmes Purchase]] of the 1780s, the area of Price Hill was sparsely populated Indian territory. The remains of Indian [[Mound builder (people)|burial mounds]] and lookout posts were located in the area. Before Cincinnati annexed it beginning in 1870, Price Hill was divided between [[Delhi Township, Ohio|Delhi]] and [[Storrs Township, Hamilton County, Ohio|Storrs]] townships. |
|||
Cincinnati became heavily populated in the 19th century, due to [[steamboat]] traffic and [[pork|hog]] [[Meat packing industry|packing]], and some of the city's wealthier residents settled in the nearly inaccessible hill country to the west. This region was high enough and far enough away to escape the pollution and crowdedness of the inner city. One such resident was General Rees E. Price, who purchased and developed large parts of the hill. The area was then called "Price's Hill", later shortened to "Price Hill".<ref name=PHHist>[https://www.angelfire.com/dc2/pricehill/briefhis.html A Brief History of Price Hill], Price Hill Historical Society</ref> |
|||
A [[funicular]] called locally "the Incline" or "the Incline Plane" was built to help make the region more accessible. With its base on the corner of 8th Street and Glenway Avenue, the Incline climbed 350 feet over the top of the hill. Thanks to the Incline, by the 1870s there were thousands of residents. Most of the residents were [[Irish Americans|Irish]] or [[German Americans|German]] [[Roman Catholic Church|Catholics]].<ref name=PHHist /> The Eighth Street Viaduct was built by the end of the century, and the more accessible region became a thriving upper-middle-class suburb, with a commercial center along Glenway Avenue. Many of the houses that still stand in the district were built in the early years of the 20th century. |
|||
[[Athenaeum of Ohio|Mount St. Mary's Seminary of the West]] was first established on a {{convert|10|acre|ha|adj=on}} site at the northwest corner of Grand and Warsaw Avenues. The site was converted to a Catholic school devoted to the care and training of orphaned, dependent, and underprivileged girls. |
|||
Holy Family Parish was also located on this site. [[Seton High School (Cincinnati, Ohio)|Seton High School]] was founded as Mount St. Vincent Academy, Cedar Grove in 1854 by the [[Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati]]. [[Union Baptist Cemetery (Cincinnati, Ohio)|Union Baptist Cemetery]] was founded in 1864, it is the oldest Baptist African-American cemetery in Cincinnati.<ref name="PriceHillWillHistory">[http://www.pricehillwill.org/wherewework/history.html Price Hill History] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080513023842/http://www.pricehillwill.org/wherewework/history.html |date=2008-05-13 }}, Price Hill Will</ref> |
|||
When Cincinnati was plagued by [[tuberculosis]] in the early 20th century, Price Hill housed the Cincinnati Tubercular Hospital, one of the nation's leading centers for treatment and research. The hospital has since been converted into the Arts Center at Dunham, which boasts an [[Art Deco]] theater. A [[Carnegie library]] was built in Price Hill in 1909. The Covedale Theater was built in 1947. |

Price Hill is a region of Cincinnati, Ohio consisting of three neighborhoods: East Price Hill, West Price Hill, and Lower Price Hill. The region is located in the western part of the city, neighbored by Sedamsville and Riverside to the south, Westwood and South Fairmount to the north, and Queensgate to the west. Originally one of the oldest suburbs of Cincinnati, the region is predominately Catholic, having been an ethnic enclave for both Irish and German Catholics.[2] Price Hill's neighborhoods are residential communities, having a combined population of 36,271 at the 2020 census.[3][4][5]
History
[edit] | This section needs additional citations for verification. (December 2023) |
Before the Symmes Purchase of the 1780s, the area of Price Hill was sparsely populated Indian territory. The remains of Indian burial mounds and lookout posts were located in the area. Before Cincinnati annexed it beginning in 1870, Price Hill was divided between Delhi and Storrs townships.
Cincinnati became heavily populated in the 19th century, due to steamboat traffic and hog packing, and some of the city's wealthier residents settled in the nearly inaccessible hill country to the west. This region was high enough and far enough away to escape the pollution and crowdedness of the inner city. One such resident was General Rees E. Price, who purchased and developed large parts of the hill. The area was then called "Price's Hill", later shortened to "Price Hill".[6]
A funicular called locally "the Incline" or "the Incline Plane" was built to help make the region more accessible. With its base on the corner of 8th Street and Glenway Avenue, the Incline climbed 350 feet over the top of the hill. Thanks to the Incline, by the 1870s there were thousands of residents. Most of the residents were Irish or German Catholics.[6] The Eighth Street Viaduct was built by the end of the century, and the more accessible region became a thriving upper-middle-class suburb, with a commercial center along Glenway Avenue. Many of the houses that still stand in the district were built in the early years of the 20th century.
Mount St. Mary's Seminary of the West was first established on a 10-acre (4.0 ha) site at the northwest corner of Grand and Warsaw Avenues. The site was converted to a Catholic school devoted to the care and training of orphaned, dependent, and underprivileged girls. Holy Family Parish was also located on this site. Seton High School was founded as Mount St. Vincent Academy, Cedar Grove in 1854 by the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati. Union Baptist Cemetery was founded in 1864, it is the oldest Baptist African-American cemetery in Cincinnati.[7]
When Cincinnati was plagued by tuberculosis in the early 20th century, Price Hill housed the Cincinnati Tubercular Hospital, one of the nation's leading centers for treatment and research. The hospital has since been converted into the Arts Center at Dunham, which boasts an Art Deco theater. A Carnegie library was built in Price Hill in 1909. The Covedale Theater was built in 1947.
