Price Hill incline in Cincinnati   Save
Ohio Guide Photographs
Description: Original description reads: "Lower 8th St. showing Price Hill incline." Price Hill is a neighborhood of Cincinnati, which covers a little over six square miles, with over 40,000 residents. In the early 19th century, with Cincinnati's population rapidly increasing, some of the wealthier residents moved to the hills West of the inner city. Price Hill was named after General Rees E. Price, who purchased and developed large parts of the hill. A cable railway called the "incline" was built to help make the region more accessible, and by the 1870s there were thousands of residents. It continues to be a thriving upper-middle-class suburb. View on Ohio Memory.
