Hyde Park was established in 1892 by several prominent Cincinnati businessmen who wanted to create a community exclusively for Cincinnati's wealthy.[2] The neighborhood is named after New York's fashionable Hyde Park area, which the men wanted to duplicate.[2] The men bought up all the land in the area, and then shaped their community by closely monitoring prospective residents and selling only to those they deemed suitable.
