geography
Norwood is an enclave in the city of Cincinnati . It was an early suburb in the wooded, rural area of northern Cincinnati. Norwood benefited from the development of the neighboring big city and started a thriving brick industry. The metropolitan area of Cincinnati slowly expanded around and eventually included the city of Norwood.
In the 1980s, Norwood experienced a major setback when General Motors stopped manufacturing automobiles in the city and 4200 workers lost their jobs. There is currently a restructuring of the economy towards trade and services.
