Hyde Park is a community that has been 100 years in the making. When several prominent businessmen pooled their own money to create a new Cincinnati community in 1892, the plan was to attract a high class of people to what the developers hoped would become an exclusive area. The community would mimic its namesake, the fashionable Hyde Park area of New York.

Today, the Cincinnati neighborhood of Hyde Park still bears many of the qualities its founders fostered. It is an upscale area where stately, well-maintained homes with manicured lawns dot tree-lined streets. Industry remains scarce, and retail outlets are, for the most part, limited to the exclusive shops that dominate Hyde Park Square. When one visits the square, there is a feeling of an open air market. Teakwood benches and beautiful landscaping add to the peaceful feeling as you hear the water bubbling in the fountain.
