- ALBERS & KAHLE 2ND SUB. OF SOUTH NORWOOD [13/88]
- WILBUR E. ARNOLD SUBDIVISION [22/28]
Just below the old Norwood Heights Subdivision of Parvin, Bolles &
Lane, it encompasses the land west of Marion Avenue, north of Highland
Avenue and on both sides of most of Grandview Place. It is not
adjacent to Buxton Avenue. The water towers and the mound are above
and to the east of the eastern boundary of this subdivision. The city
right-of-way for the piping from the water towers is at this boundary.
The old Arnold Building ("Flat Iron Building") was named for
the same man.
- AVILLA PLACE SUBDIVISION [31/65]
BAKER
- J. W. & W. C. BAKER'S ADDITION TO SHARPSBURG [3/68]
This property was platted around 1868 and was located just north of
the M&C tracks and just west of Montgomery Pike/Carthage Avenue,
near the northwestern corner of Section 34 of Columbia Township.
Previously the land was probably that part of Lydia A. Drake's north
of the tracks. Today the Norwood Lateral occupies it, the site being
west of the Montgomery Road bridge and south of Sanker Boulevard.

created by Harry Quinton Cleneay around 1887.
- LOUIS CORDES' ADDITION OF L. C. HOPKINS' SUBDIVISION [10/58]
This Ivanhoe subivision was bounded on the west by Montgomery Road, on

This subdivision was located on the west side of Montgomery Pike,
south of Williams Avenue, east of Huston Avenue and north of Mentor
Avenue. The C.L.&N. tracks went through this land, crossing
Mentor, Ivanhoe and Williams Avenues. The Ivanhoe Depot was located on
the southeast corner of Williams and Ivanhoe Avenues, on the
northwestern side of the tracks (currently the back lot of the United
Dairy Farmers' plant).

- E. C. HEDGER SUBDIVISION [4/206] also in [14/131] (est. 1873 or
1876?)
Established in 1876 (1873?), this subdivision may have part of the
area named "Norwood" proper or "old Norwood,"
before the Village was incorporated in 1888.
The title of this subdivision on the county plat book was
"Addition to Norwood by Emiline Hedger and Others." The
document was received and recorded on November 8, 1876. The developers
were Geo. Hafer, William N. Hobart, E. F. Bradford, Esq., and W. B.
Maddux.
This subdivision appears to have had 89 lots and was located between
Section Avenue, on the west, and almost to Montgomery Road, on the
east. The lots on the south side of Elm Avenue defined the southern
extent; the lots on the north side of Maple Avenue marked the northern
limit. Elm and Maple, which were located between Section Avenue and
Montgomery Road were entirely within the subdivision (except for the
properties adjacent to Montgomery Road). Station Avenue, which at the
time was located only between Elm Avenue and a road parallel to the
railroad tracks of the M. & C. R. R. leading from Montgomery Road
to the train depot, was within the subdivision's boundaries (except
from the northern edge of the Maple Avenue properties to the tracks).
- HOME OWNER'S SUBDIVISION, REG. LAND (CERT. 183) [1/3]
This subdivision was listed in a 1977 compilation of subdivisions, but
it has not been verified that it is in Sharpsburg. However, it is
recorded by the Hamilton County Recorder. If true, it would have been
the first in the Sharpsburg/Norwood area.
The Norwood Historical Society has a book of plats (Cabinet A, Drawer
4; Hamilton County Auditor's Plat Books, City of Norwood, Book No.
523). On page 4 (Norwood Heights area) is a reference to Plat Book 1,
Page 3.
HOPKINS

The preceding four subdivisions were in, or adjacent to, Ivanhoe,
which was later annexed by the Village of Norwood.
- L. C. HOPKINS EAST NORWOOD [5/272] (est. 1881?)
This development was located north of the B&O (earlier M&C)
tracks and along the new Cincinnati & Northern (later Cincinnati,
Lebanon & Northern) tracks, south of Highland Avenue and east of
Langdon's subdivision. It may have been the first subdivision of East
Norwood.

- EAST IVANHOE SUBDIVISION
- IVANHOE SYNDICATE SUBDIVISION [6/182]
LANGDON
- J. G. LANGDON'S SUBDIVISION [3/32] (est. 1868)
This property was platted around 1868 and was located just north of
the M&C tracks, just east of Montgomery Pike, south of Highland
Avenue, and a short distance west of the later Wesley Avenue, in the
northern part of Section 34 of Columbia Township. The land was
previously owned by W. Holt. The southern half of the land is now part
of the Norwood Lateral and the northern portion is most of that land
between Highland, Wesley and Norwood Avenues and Montgomery Road. The
first train station and post office were located here before the name
Sharpsburg was replaced by Norwood.
- SUBDIVISION BY THE LANGDON REALTY CO. [23/63]
This appears to be just a replatting of most of the land of the
original 1868 Langdon Addition to Sharpsburg Subdivision, north of the
B. & O. R.R. tracks, but, with the inclusion of the old ballpark
land, south of the tracks and later used by General Motors.
The Norwood Historical Society has a formal drawing approved by
Norwood City Engineer on February 17, 1917; approved by Norwood City
Council by ordinance on March 5, 1917; and recorded in Plat Book 23 on
March 15, 1917.
Northern part of the 1917 map, showing the
original 1868 Langdon Addition to Sharpsburg Subdivision
Other information on the drawing were:
- H. E. Langdon was the President of this realty company; Tract
"A" is the undivided 15.08 acres south of the B. &
O. R.R., east of Smith Road, and the numbered lots appear to be
part of the original 1868 Langdon Addition to Sharpsburg,
excluding the lots on Montgomery Road and north of Norwood Avenue
(except lot 16) and some property on Harris Avenue
- The lots are somewhat different than the original subdivision,
for the following reasons: the angled Cross Street was replaced by
an extension of the east-west Norwood Avenue; the angled Langdon
Avenue was replaced with a north-south Langdon Avenue; the angled
western section of Highland Avenue, after the bend at Langdon
Avenue, was replaced with an east-west part, and Malcom Avenue was
added to connect West Alley with Langdon Avenue.
- The only lots remaining the same were those along Montgomery
Road —numbers 4-12— although a small corner of 4 was cut for
Norwood Avenue and a small piece of 3, along Montgomery Road, was
saved and renamed 16, and the top part of 12 was modified when
Highland was changed.
- At the same time of this "plat of subdivision," the
company also agreed to "dedicate the streets, avenues and
alleys adjacent to said tract and lots in accordance with said
plat, and consent to the vacating of any public right of way
thorough or adjacent to said tracts or lots and not designated on
said plat."

- MARY E. LUGINBUHL SUB [27/16]
- (ALBERT?) MCCULLOUGH'S SUB-TRACT [20/27]

of the water towers and tennis courts. Originally this was the
northern part of the Parvin, Bolles and Lane Subdivision's Lot 5.

Although the County's web site gives no plat listing for a subdivision
with this name, an index of deeds for Section 35 of Columbia Township
places the Parvin, Bolles & Lane subdivision at W. B. Ferguson's
Farm in Plat Book 3, page 144. Today, most of what is commonly called
"Indian Mound" was originally the Norwood Heights
Subdivision. Much later, other subdivisions using the name
"Norwood Heights" were platted (see following).

Norwood's initial incorporation as a village [8/27-28] — 1888
Although this was not actually a subdivision plat, it is included
since it is the plat map for the Village of Norwood. It was drawn from
a combining of the plat maps of the subdivisions within Section 34 of
Columbia Township. Every subdivision created before this was just a
part of Columbia or Millcreek Townships — there was no Village of
Norwood, and Sharpsburg was never incorporated. At this time, there
may have been over 40 subdivisions in what would eventually become the
City of Norwood — not all of which were included in the initial
incorporation. After this time, some newly created subdivisons may not
have been part of Norwood, either, until one of the annexations. For
example, part of Elsmere Subdivision was made part of Norwood in the
village's first annexation in 1889. The remainder of Elsmere was
absorbed by the second annexation in 1891.
- PARMELEE PLACE SUBDIVISION OF LOT 7, PARVIN, BOLLES & LANE'S
SUBDIVISION [22/53]
On both sides of Parmelee Place, between Wakefield Place and Indian
Mound Avenue.
PARVIN, BOLLES & LANE
- PARVIN, BOLLES & LANE [3/144] (original Norwood Heights) &
[24/6]
This property was previously the W. B. Ferguson farm in the
southeastern corner of Section 35 of Columbia Township. The property
was acquired by Parvin, Bolles and Lane and platted in 1869. Being
named "Norwood Heights," it was the first subdivision to use
the name "Norwood." The Hedger Subdivision, which was
platted in 1876, may have taken the name "Norwood," since
1887-88 newspaper references to the community at or around that
subdivision was "old Norwood." In 1881, the L. C. Hopkins
platted the first subdivision in East Norwood, and around 1885,
Bofinger & Hopkins started work on South Norwood. A community,
between "old Norwood" and Ivanhoe, called West Norwood was
also started early. A village of this name —Norwood— was
incorporated in 1888, encompassing all of Section 34 (the section of
Columbia Township south of Norwood Heights). Soon after, Norwood
Heights was annexed to the Village of Norwood.

"remainder" seems to indicate that it was a continuation of
a previous subdivision - possibly the "Home Owners'
Subdivision." It is recorded with the Hamilton County Recorder's
Office.
- GEORGE A. TURRILL SUBDIVISION [8V2/18]
Starting at the intersection of Montgomery Road and Indian Mound
Avenue and going south to Buxton Avenue, south for a distance then
