History of Sayler Park Community

The community of Sayler Park is composed of three separate villages: Delhi on the Ohio, Home City, and Fernbank.
In 1909 the village of Home City was officially renamed Sayler Park in honor of its first Mayor, Nelson Sayler.
The Sayler home, "A Forest of Arden,” was a well known landmark until the April 3, 1974 tornado. It was so named because of its owners' love for Shakespeare.
The community was annexed to Cincinnati in June 3, 1911.
Sayler Park developed around the 1840's when a one-mile race track was set up around a pre-historic Indian mound.
The people used the mound, a 100 by 200 foot oval, as the grandstand to watch the races.
The first store opened in 1852.
It was not until the railroad was constructed along the river between 1857 and 1863 that the town began to grow.
