this neighborhood

Historically, Carthage was a center for the farming culture that dominated the Cincinnati landscape. Since 1853 Carthage has maintained a prominent role in agriculture, hosting the Hamilton County Fair. Thirty acres of land have been preserved within this suburban landscape for the annual August event. Rather than showcasing the latest farming techniques, the Hamilton County Fair of today educates visitors about life on the farm.

A Settler's Village, antique tractors, agricultural and craft exhibits, and petting zoo remain the key attractions for both adults and children. A milking parlor provides fair-goers with an opportunity to gain hands-on experience.

The Caldwell Nature Center, the Seymour Nature Trails and the well-kept lawns and gardens of Cape Cods, brick houses, and starter homes allow the residents of this "green" neighborhood to maintain a year-round bond with their environment.

Carthage is home to 2,500 people living in an area of 0.8 square miles. The neighborhood is diverse with singles, couples and families. Residents represent every age group, with couples in their 60s and in their 20s interspersed among growing families
