Hyde Park initially consisted of a rural area with very few houses as late as 1885, until the Norfolk and Western Railway linked it with Cincinnati in the 1872. [3] Shortly afterwards, population began to increase and in 1892, several prominent Cincinnati real estate businessmen, collectively known as the Mornington syndicate, capitalized on the new transportations to downtown and purchased much of the land to create a community exclusively for Cincinnati's wealthy, selling old parcels to residents who met such criteria. [4] [5] In 1896, the village of Hyde Park was incorporated and was named after the affluent hamlet of Hyde Park in New York.
In November 1903, Hyde Park was annexed by the City of Cincinnati. [6] [7] Almost immediately thereafter, it experienced a real estate boom, bringing hundreds of new residents.[ citation needed ]
