History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

In 1818, a Scottish immigrant named John Craig purchased a half section of of Green Township from Elias Boudinot. He built an inn and tavern on the Harrison Pike. On March 21 1818, Craig laid out a town which he named after the Cheviot Hills in southern Scotland. He sold lots and growth began.

The town was incorporated as a village in 1901, and a city in 1931. Originally a farming community, today Cheviot is a residential suburb of Cincinnati.

On January 6, 2018, fireworks at the Cheviot Memorial Building Fieldhouse kicked off the city's bicentennial. Events planned throughout 2018 included a new water splash park at Harvest Home Park, a historical marker at Harvest Home and personal bricks located next to the cannon at the Memorial Building on Robb Avenue. In March 2018, members of the Cheviot Bicentennial Committee decided to restart the Cheviot Historical Society together with Cheviot History to preserve the history of Cheviot.
