Cheviot /ˈʃɛviət/[5] is a city in west-central Hamilton County, Ohio, United States.

[6] In 1818, a Scottish immigrant named John Craig purchased a half section of 320 acres (1.3 km2) of Green Township from Elias Boudinot.

On March 21, 1818, Craig laid out a town which he named after the Cheviot Hills in southern Scotland.

Originally a farming community, today Cheviot is a residential suburb of Cincinnati.

Cheviot is located about 7 miles (11 km) northwest of downtown Cincinnati.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.17 square miles (3.03 km2), all land.

39.3% of all households were made up of individuals, and 13.3% were someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

The city of Cheviot is home to much of the same German-American and other ethnic cultures that inhabit the surrounding Cincinnati area.

[18] The city is known locally (and regionally) for its annual Harvest Home Fair.

The city incorporated the West Fest Street Festival in 2002, which has steadily grown in popularity.

The annual event features local food, various booths/activities, children's rides, and live music.
