A City With Its Own Story
Mount Healthy has roots going back to 1817, when it was platted as the village of Mount Pleasant on the route between Cincinnati and Fort Hamilton — the road that became Hamilton Avenue. It renamed itself Mount Healthy in 1850 after weathering a cholera outbreak that hit nearby areas harder, incorporated as a village in 1893, and became a city in 1951.
