Among the earliest towns on Cincinnati’s West Side, Sedamsville was a thriving community with its own mayor, town hall, fire department, marshal,
industries, amusement parks and resorts and other businesses.

Though sometimes forgotten today, Sedamsville’s influence on the growth and expansion of Cincinnati’s West Side should not be underestimated.
Knowing the history of Sedamsville is key to understanding our region. Sedamsville is so important to our history that the entire village was entered into the National Historic Register in 2012.

Rev. Jim Meade, retired priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, former pastor at Our Lady of Perpetual Help parish in Sedamsville, and native of Sedamsville, has been preserving and recording the history of this important town for decades. His years of work have been a labor of love. Father Jim will share the stories and images of Sedamsville from yesterday and today, Monday, September 8, 2025 at 7PM at the Delhi Community/Senior Center, 647 Neeb Road, Cincinnati, OH 45233.
