Wyoming, Ohio — a suburban city near Cincinnati

History and development

Wyoming grew in the 19th and early 20th centuries as transportation links and local industry encouraged suburban settlement outside Cincinnati. Wealthier residents built substantial houses on elevated lots, and later the city developed a more diverse housing stock as streetcar and commuter travel made the area attractive to middle-class families. Many older buildings and streetscapes reflect Victorian and early 20th-century styles.
