History edit
English Woods was established in 1940 as a planned housing project by the Cincinnati Metropolitan Housing Authority. The neighborhood expanded in 1960 with the construction of another public housing project known as Sutterview. In 2005, the original housing projects were demolished. Plans to redevelop English Woods by the Cincinnati Metropolitan Housing Authority in the subsequent decade were not enacted, leaving the majority of the neighborhood abandoned except for Sutterview and one high-rise apartment building.[1]
