Covedale is a former village in Hamilton County, Ohio, United States. The main area of the village was annexed by the city of Cincinnati and is now a neighborhood of about 15,000 people in the western part of the city.

History

Covedale was annexed by Cincinnati on June 4, 1930.[1] [2] Residents of the annexed territory unsuccessfully argued in Common Pleas Court that the annexation date was March 18, 1931.[3] [4] [5] [6] Upon annexation, the village disincorporated and its remaining area reverted to Green Township, with a small fragment going to Delhi Township.
