History

South Cumminsville was originally the southern portion of a larger settlement known as Cumminsville. Cumminsville was incorporated in 1865 and annexed into Cincinnati eight years later. In the early 1900s, growth attracted many German Catholics. Cumminsville also attracted a number of African-Americans, who moved to the area of Follett and Dreman avenues. This sub-neighborhood became known as South Cumminsville, according to history books. Boosted by the opening of the Millvale apartments in the 1950s, South Cumminsville evolved into a predominantly African-American community. Many of the newcomers in the northern portions of Cumminsville became to identify themselves with Northside, while South Cumminsville retained its identity.

There was a series of unsolved murders in Cumminsville in the early 1900s. From 1904-1910, five women were killed within a mile of the Spring Grove and Winton Road corner in Cumminsville, earning the neighborhood the nickname "the murder zone" and sparking fear that Cincinnati was experiencing its first serial killer.
