Crestview Hills will mark 75 years as an incorporated city with a semi-formal dinner at Summit Hills Country Club on Oct. 3.

The plated dinner will include a cash bar, according to the city's announcement on X. Residents can reserve spots through the city's official activity page.

The venue carries its own piece of Crestview Hills history. After the city incorporated in October 1951, the original City Council held its meetings at Summit Hills Country Club until the first city building went up in the 1980s, according to the city's history page.

The club sits at 236 Dudley Road.

In the summer of 1951, residents of about 30 to 40 developed homes met with the owners of Brink Farm (now Lookout Farm), Meiman Farm and Mackoy Farm to discuss forming what was then a sixth-class city, the history page states. Kenton County records confirm the incorporation that October. The city is now a home-rule-class community of about 3,300 residents.

The dinner caps a year of anniversary programming. The city launched a scavenger hunt on May 4 with prizes including a $20 World Market gift card and commemorative items for the first 20 participants to finish. Crestview Hills also joined Fourth of July parades in neighboring Fort Mitchell and Edgewood.

Recreation Committee Chairperson Mark Lehman told the City Council at its April 9 meeting that "the 75th anniversary dinner and event planning is well underway." He thanked City Clerk Stacy Kellam and fellow committee members for organizing the celebrations. Kellam reported at the council's Feb. 12 meeting that anniversary events had been promoted through What's Happening magazine, which was delivered across Kenton County.

Ticket prices and a start time were not listed in available city materials. Residents can check the activity page at crestviewhills.gov for updated details.
