Here is some information about our city:
The City of
Edgewood takes its name from an early homestead in what is now Walker Estates.
The original city was formed in 1948. The current city is the result of many
mergers and annexations since 1948. The biggest of these mergers occurred in
1968. The cities of Edgewood, Summit Hills Heights, and St. Pius Heights worked
closely together on issues. In 1968, those three cities voted to merge. The new
Edgewood started operating on January 1, 1969. In the 1970 census, the new city
of Edgewood had approximately 4,200 people and 1,500 homes. By 1996 the city had
grown to over 8,500 people and 3,000 homes. As of the 2000 census, Edgewood has
now grown to 9,400 residents and growing. As you look at our small community
with its parks, schools and hospital, it quickly becomes obvious why Edgewood is
the premier city in Northern Kentucky.
