The city traces its roots to a tavern and a general store built on a crossroads. The area began to develop around these 2 businesses and was originally called "Sharpsburg" after the general store's owner. A local by the name of Sarah Bolles suggested "Norwood" as a nicer name and it stuck.
Developers saw the chance to build railroads through Norwood, which brought with them increased wealth and population.
As the population continued to grow, Norwood was finally incorporated into Hamilton County as an official village.
Norwood became a city on May 4, 1903.
Norwood was a manufacturing hub for the first half of the century. It steadily transitioned towards a focus in retail and business, which is what the city is known for today.
With a strong community and a government dedicated to the people, there is no telling where Norwood can go!
