History

The area has been known as “the Highlands” since the 19th century. The District of the Highlands was incorporated in 1867; Fort Thomas was separately incorporated from its northern reaches in 1914. The local post office was established in 1927, and the community of Highland Heights incorporated itself separately the same year.

Northern Kentucky State College, previously sited in Park Hills, was relocated to a larger campus in the city in 1971. It is now known as Northern Kentucky University (NKU), and subsidiary businesses and related developments have grown in the city.

In October 2012 Highland Heights resident Ryan Poston was murdered in his home. The perpetrator was his girlfriend, Shayna Hubers, who shot him six times. The case and trials attracted considerable media attention.
