Norwood: Hamilton County Enclave Within Cincinnati
Norwood is a landlocked municipality completely surrounded by Cincinnati in Hamilton County. The city was incorporated in 1888 and grew as a commuter suburb along the Pennsylvania Railroad, with its residential neighborhoods developing around the railroad's streetcar lines. Ivorydale, a nearby Procter and Gamble soap plant, drew workers to Norwood from the 1880s onward.
General Motors operated a major assembly plant in Norwood from 1923 until 1987. The Norwood Assembly Plant produced Chevrolet Camaros and Pontiac Firebirds during the muscle car era of the late 1960s and early 1970s, and its closure was a significant blow to the local economy. The site has since been redeveloped, but the loss shaped the city's economic trajectory for decades.
U.S. Playing Card Company, the dominant American manufacturer of playing cards under brands including Bicycle, was headquartered in Norwood from 1894 until 2009, when the company moved to Erlanger, Kentucky. U.S. Bank, the former Fifth Third Bank building, and other office properties give Norwood a small but active commercial core.
