North Fairmount is one of the 52 neighborhoods of Cincinnati, Ohio. The neighborhood lies south of East Westwood, southwest of Millvale, and north of South Fairmount. The population was 1,590 at the 2020 census.
History
Fairmount began as a sprinkling of farm homes in the early 1800s. Later as the Mill Creek valley became industrialized, the creek bed was spanned and factories were located at the base of the hill. A brewery was established as early as 1825, and several more beer makers arrived in the next decades. The first newcomers were a few French and German immigrants. The community attracted Italians near the turn of the century. Fairmount developed distinct neighborhoods, including North Fairmount, South Fairmount, Millvale (in northeast Fairmount), and English Woods (an early federal housing project).
