Mariemont (pronounced /ˈmɛərimɒnt/ mair-EE-mont) is a village in eastern Hamilton County, Ohio, United States. The population was 3,518 at the 2020 census. A planned community in the Cincinnati metropolitan area, it includes two overlapping historic districts, the Village of Mariemont and Mariemont Historic District. In 2007, the Village of Mariemont was designated a National Historic Landmark.
History
Madisonville site, the remains of a Fort Ancient village abandoned before Europeans settled in the area in 1786, is located nearby. There is also a pioneer cemetery adjacent to the Mariemont Community Church.
Mariemont was founded by Mary Emery and planned by John Nolen and 25 leading American architects. Emery and other dignitaries broke ground on April 23, 1923. Emery had spent around seven million dollars of her own money to purchase the land that would become Mariemont. Her vision was of a planned community reminiscent of an English garden city that would welcome people of differing economic backgrounds, with a mix of single-family homes and affordable low-rise apartments.
However, the dream of welcoming all classes was not achieved in the end. Construction costs drove rents up considerably higher than those in the city that Emery had hoped to help others escape. Like other planned communities founded before 1960, Mariemont was originally an exclusively white community. Homeownership in Mariemont came with deed restrictions, including restrictions on occupants. “No lot shall be sold, conveyed, rented, leased or mortgaged to or occupied, except as a house servant, by a person of African or Asiatic descent.”
In 2008, owing to its "unique character, compact and walkable design, and strong citizen participation and engagement", the American Planning Association designated Mariemont a "Great Neighbourhood".
