Since its founding in 1888, Norwood has grown into a center for
commerce and industry proudly serving as a birthplace and home for
numerous office, manufacturing, service and retail businesses.
Initially
settled as a northern suburb of Cincinnati,
Norwood's development has
been strongly influenced by its strategic central location in the
heart of the
Greater Cincinnati metropolitan market.
As Cincinnati's
border expanded through growth and annexation, Norwood opted to retain its
independence and self-governance. As a result, Norwood
became an enclave city, totally surrounded by the City of Cincinnati.
Norwood's distinction as an
independent
community in the center of a major metropolitan area continues to offer
a unique
blend of advantages for Norwood
residents and businesses.

Norwood is centrally located in the heart of a booming
metropolitan area, with Cincinnati's
bustling downtown to the south, rapidly developing suburbs to the north
and major interstates to the east and west. Geographically, Norwood occupies
the center of the Greater Cincinnati population base. Two-thirds of
Greater Cincinnati's 2 million residents live within 10 miles of Norwood.
Norwood's proximity to the surrounding population base,
strategic central location and excellent transportation accessibility
combine to make it a center of activity for businesses, suppliers,
service providers and
consumers.
Through economic development and
diversification, Norwood has transitioned from an industrial history to
one of the strongest office markets in the region.
