Madeira is a city in Hamilton County, Ohio, United States. The population was 9,487 at the 2020 census. A residential suburb of Cincinnati, Madeira has a small downtown and some light industry.

History

Madeira was largely laid out in 1871. Before this time the place was known as a post town, and was named for John Madeira who owned a large tract of land in the vicinity.[5] [6]

Madeira was incorporated as a village under the statutes of the State of Ohio in 1910.[7] The village was protected by a series of elected marshals and appointed deputy marshals until 1942 when Madeira's first Chief of Police was appointed.

Madeira gained city status in August 1959.[8] The city nearly doubled in area with the 1970 annexation of the South Kenwood area of Columbia Township.

In 2007, BusinessWeek ranked Madeira as one of the "Best Places to Raise Kids--For Less."[9]
