The rolling, wooded terrain around Mount Healthy is typical of southwestern Ohio, which has shaped both the city’s low-rise residential fabric and its connections to the Cincinnati metropolitan economy. Located in Hamilton County north of central Cincinnati, Mount Healthy belongs to an inland urban belt whose larger regional geography is organized by the Ohio River to the south. The community began as Mount Pleasant, but adopted its present name in 1850 after residents believed it had been spared during the cholera epidemic of 1849. Today its compact municipal area sits amid established suburbs rather than the riverfront districts associated with Cincinnati.
