Hyde Park is one of the 52neighborhoods ofCincinnati, Ohio. Originally established as a retreat for the city's wealthy, the neighborhood is predominately residential, with a central business district known as Hyde Park Square. The population was 14,193 at the2020 census.[1]
The area now home to Hyde Park initially consisted of a sparsely populated rural area until 1885, when theNorfolk and Western Railway linked it withCincinnati in 1872.[2] Shortly afterwards, population began to increase and in 1892, several prominent Cincinnati real estate businessmen, collectively known as the Mornington syndicate, capitalized on the new transportations to downtown and purchased much of the land to create a community exclusively for Cincinnati's wealthy, selling old parcels to residents who met such criteria.[3][4] In 1896, the village of Hyde Park was incorporated and was named after the affluenthamlet ofHyde Park inNew York. The name "Hyde Park" was suggested by Cincinnati architectGustave W. Drach.[5][6]
In November 1903, the western portion of Hyde Park was annexed by the City of Cincinnati.[7][8] The eastern portion of the community was later annexed in 1909.[9] Almost immediately thereafter, it experienced a real estate and population boom.[citation needed]

It is bordered by the neighborhoods ofEast Walnut Hills,Evanston,Mt. Lookout,O'Bryonville,Oakley, and theCity of Norwood.
Hyde Park is located on a plateau above the Ohio River Valley and theMiami Valley. Linwood Road, Torrence Parkway and Delta Avenue, all flow towards the Ohio River and follow the major pathways by the major drainage valleys that cut into the plateau.[10]
