Corryville is a neighborhood in the north central area of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States, situated between the University of Cincinnati campus and the neighborhoods of Clifton and Mount Auburn. Historically residential with periods of commercial and institutional development, the community has ties to regional transportation corridors such as Interstate 71, medical centers like Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, and cultural corridors linked to Over-the-Rhine and Northside. Proximity to campus life and to institutions including University Hospital has shaped redevelopment and demographic change since the late 20th century.
Corryville developed in the 19th century as part of urban expansion associated with the Cincinnati and Lafayette Railroad era and westward growth following the Erie Canal-era boom that affected Ohio River commerce. Early landowners and developers included figures tied to Cincinnati Gazette-era civic expansion and industrialists connected to the Mead Paper Company and local breweries that paralleled firms like Christian Moerlein Brewery. The neighborhood experienced waves of migration linked to the Great Migration and later suburbanization after World War II. Urban renewal policies influenced by federal programs in the 1950s and 1960s intersected with community activism seen in movements akin to those around Over-the-Rhine preservation campaigns. Late 20th- and early 21st-century redevelopment involved partnerships among entities such as the Cincinnati Preservation Association and the Cincinnati Development Fund, and projects connected with the University of Cincinnati expansion and the growth of Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.
