Lincoln Heights is a historically African American community that was originally developed in the early 1920s through the Livingston Land Company. The first attempt to incorporate occurred in the late 1930s when residents organized in order to manage their own affairs and improve the delivery of Police, Fire and code enforcement services. Lincoln Heights was ultimately chartered as an independent municipality in 1946 through action of the Hamilton County Commissioners. That incorporation, however, left it with only .8 square miles of land.

Within its borders was a limited industrial and commercial land base insufficient to support the needs of its population base. By 1950 its population had surged to more than 5000 and it efforts to annex adjacent land were thwarted. A neighboring territory (once considered a part of Lincoln Heights) was incorporated in 1951 as the Village of Evendale. Coincidentally, Evendale included General Electric Company (formerly Wright Aircraft), an entity that contributed to the prosperity of Evendale and subsequently prevented the economic success of Lincoln Heights.
