Pleasant Ridge is one of the 52 neighborhoods of Cincinnati, Ohio. Annexed in 1911, the neighborhood is predominately residential. The population was 8,895 at the 2020 census. John Cleves Symmes, congressman from New Jersey, purchased a vast tract of land between the two Miami rivers for less than a $1.00 an acre. Pleasant Ridge marks its beginning as a community in 1795, when land agent Colonel John McFarland bought nearly 1,000 acres from Symmes and built a small fort to protect early settlers from Native American attacks. This was one of a series of forts built in the Symmes purchase. McFarland's Station was located on the border of what is now the neighborhoods of Kennedy Heights and Pleasant Ridge.
