Small village police dept a long US 50 and the Ohio River in the southwest corner of Ohio. Located approximately 10 miles west of downtown Cincinnati on the Ohio River, Addyston is a friendly community of about 1,000 residents, founded in 1891 by Matthew Addy. Addyston Village Council first met on Wednesday, September 2nd, 1891. The first meeting of council dealt with organization laws that had to be passed in order for Addyston to become a legal village and control the growing population. The 1900 census shows there were many Kentuckyians and other southerners who came to work in the Pipe Foundry. Also in the census were Indianaians, Ohioans, people from England, Germany plus the Irish left over from the canal building. Immediate needs were a school, churches, and places of business. The Burr Oak school was built in 1875 to provide for surrounding farm children and Addyston children. The west end of the village was the main business district. There were two large brick buildings, designed by John Boll. The brick buildings, one of which is still in use, were actually built before Addyston became a village. There were many grocery stores each with its own stables as was Diller's pharmacy. There was also a smithy, a cobbler, clothing stores, stables, and barber shops. The east end business district was First Street, sometimes referred to as Front Street. Here there were several grocery stores, a large hotel and bar, a confectionary, and a Feed and Grain store. In 1891, Peter Wycoff's lumber mill was on the creek at the north end of First Street.
