Lockland- Wyoming Train Station

The addition of a train depot in 1851 greatly changed life for residents of the valley as the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad carried passengers and stopped there, cutting the trip to downtown Cincinnati from eight hours to 39 minutes. This new transportation helped the area's population explode by bringing people to the suburbs, and with rides costing less than nine cents and 19 trains stopping daily, travel was easy. As the area developed, the depot became known as the Lockland-Wyoming Station. Streetcars, buses, and cars soon followed, and by 1942 trains no longer carried passengers there and the depot was soon demolished. In 1961, the City of Wyoming purchased the land for use as a park.
