Neighborhood Description:
Located in eastern Covington, Austinburg is only minutes from Downtown Cincinnati. Well connected by highways, two rivers, and well maintained neighborhood streets, area residents enjoy access to public transportation systems and many major attractions. Built on a human scale, convenient corner stores provide for the impulse buy, or one last forgotten ingredient. A comprehensive network of smaller streets gives the enjoyable feeling of being in the outdoors to pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists alike. The history of Austinburg goes back to the 1840s when Seneca Austin purchased a tract of land lying along the Licking River. A decade later, Austin subdivided the land and sold the parcels to German Catholics who were settling just outside the city of Covington to avoid the city taxes. The railroad, which originally ran at the edge of Austinburg, played a significant role in shaping the future of this neighborhood.
