Highland Heights, Kentucky
Originally a part of the District of the Highlands incorporated by Henry Stanbery in 1867, The area known as Highland Heights was the southern remainder of the district that was left when Ft Thomas incorporated itself as a city from the northern part in 1914.
In 1917, the Highlands Real Estate and Investment Co. built a model home at Renshaw and Main Ave. and a street car line from Ft Thomas was extended down US 27 to encourage buyers to purchase lots in the area. Residents proposed incorporation during the winter of 1927, but they were one person shy of the 125 residents required by state law. A birth resolved the problem and in July 1927 Campbell County Court Judge A.M. Caldwell passed the order for incorporation. The city continued to annex land and also discussed merging with nearby Cold Spring and Crestview. Nothing came of the talks, and development of the largely rural area remained slow. In 1968 it was announced that Northern Kentucky State College, now known as Northern Kentucky University or NKU, would locate adjacent to Highland Heights. The college became a 4-year school and moved from Park Hills to a larger campus in Highland Heights. The school thrived in the new suburban location, and received an additional boost in convenience when I-275 was completed and I-471 opened from Highland Heights to Cincinnati in 1981. Today Highland Heights is still mainly a residential area dominated with middle and upper class homes along with the growing campus of NKU. NKU will host over 18,000 students for the 2007-08 school year and has become one of Greater Cincinnati's premiere Universities with many of its student body using on campus housing or commuting from Ohio and Indiana. Construction was started in 2007 on a new Sports Arena in anticipation of NKU gaining Division I status in the NCAA. As part of the reconstruction of the roads around the NKU campus to accommodate the new sports venue, the Kentucky Department of Transportation is constructing the first roundabout built in Kentucky.
