Finneytown is a census-designated place (CDP) in Springfield Township, Hamilton County, in southwest Ohio, United States, just north of Cincinnati.

Finneytown is home to the second largest private school in Ohio (St. Xavier High School) and the Cincinnati area's annual Greek Festival (at Holy Trinity-St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church).

[4] Finneytown is named for Ebenezer Ward Finney, a Revolutionary War soldier whose burial site is located just south of the current township.

[6] In April 1795, an old preacher named Reverend Ebenezer Ward bought the section of land which included modern day Finneytown from John Cleves Symmes.

One of the original pioneers, Samuel Raymond, moved to Finney's land and built a blacksmith shop, which remained until the 20th century.

[5][7] In the 20th century, Finneytown experienced growth as it transitioned from a rural area to a suburb.

1905 saw the founding of Special District School #10 to meet the demand for education, which was finished in 1915.

Additionally, the early 20th century saw the introduction of automobiles to Finneytown, which resulted in the paving of the area's dirt roads.

This population growth occurred at the same time a requirement for K-12 programs was introduced, which led to the founding of the Finneytown Secondary Campus in 1958.

[8][7][9][10] According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 4.0 square miles (10 km2), all land.

[15] The Holy Trinity-Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church started the yearly festival in 1975.

It has included authentic Greek food, music, dancing, and an art show.

The Finneytown Local School District serves the neighborhood and surrounding area.
