Historians believe that the city of Amelia was first settled in 1809 — the city was named after a woman who was a well-known operator of the Ohio turnpike tollgate. Today Amelia is located east of the City of Cincinnati, outside the 275 loop. It is south of Batavia, north of New Richmond, and west of Bethel. The city’s website has an informative page for people who are, “New In Town,” as well as highlighting the local government officials, updated community events, & additional helpful information. The community hosts a variety of events for its residents, such as a Halloween Festival, a city-wide Yard Sale, and a Garden Club.
SCHOOLS
The City of Cheviot is located in the Cincinnati Public School District. Due to the size of the city, there are only two local schools – one public and one private. Cheviot School is a public school that serves Pre K – 6th grade and St. Martin is a Catholic school that serves grades K – 8.
GOOD EATS
Before we get to the delicious food, a fun fact about Cheviot is that the total city area only covers 1.17 square miles. Even though the city is small, the number of local restaurants is extensive and impressive. The best way to find them is to take a drive along Harrison Ave. A handful of the local favorites are:
- Crown’s Kitchen

SHOPPING AND ENTERTAINMENT
As mentioned above, because the city is small, you’ll have to venture farther away for most forms of entertainment. However, there are a few local favorites, such as the three recreational facilities: Cheviot Memorial Fieldhouse, Harvest Home Park, and Cheviot Municipal Swimming Pool. Additionally, the city hosts events such as Harvest Home Fair – an annual event the weekend after Labor Day where all proceeds are returned to the community. The city even formed a partnership with Cheviot Game Time Sports Bar & Grill, which allows residents to use the outdoor volleyball court on Saturdays.
