History

Originally a stop on the Cincinnati Southern Railroad, the name Crescent Springs could refer to either the shape of the tracks crossing through the community or to New Orleans‘s nickname “the Crescent City” after its shape beside the Mississippi River. (New Orleans was the southern terminus of the Cincinnati Southern, from which it was sometimes known as the “Queen and Crescent Railroad”.)

In 1930, the International Labor Defense alleged that Crescent Springs was a sundown town where African Americans were not allowed to reside.
