Mt Washington

Mt. Washington is a family-oriented neighborhood located at the eastern edge of Cincinnati's city limits. Once part of the vast Virginia Military District, Mt. Washington has existed since 1790. The soldiers of Virginia, including George Washington, were rewarded for their service with land, but few settled it, choosing to sell it instead. Mt. Washington was first settled by Baptist minister John Corbly and farmer Stephen Sutton. Corbly Road and Sutton Avenue still pay homage to those two men.
