NORTH COLLEGE HILL

city, Hamilton county, extreme southwest Ohio, U.S., residential northern suburb of Cincinnati. The first settler, probably Gershom Gard, arrived in 1795. In 1916 three subdivisions in the Clovernook area east of Hamilton (Meyersville, Sunshine, and Clovernook) combined to become the village of North College Hill, so named for the now-closed Farmers' College, founded there in 1846 by Freeman Grant Cary. It achieved city status in 1940. The Clovernook Home for the Blind (1903) is in the northern part of the city. Pop. (1990) 11,002.
