24/7 Trauma and Biohazard Cleanup in Blue Ash, OH

Blue Ash, an inner suburb of Cincinnati in Hamilton County, was settled around 1791 and takes its name from the Carpenter's Run Baptist Church, built in 1797 out of blue ash logs.

Blue Ash had 13,394 residents at the 2020 census, living in 5,520 households, about two-thirds of them owner-occupied.

Blue Ash was home to the Cincinnati–Blue Ash Airport from 1921 to 2012; it became Ohio's first municipal airport after Cincinnati bought it in 1946, and after it closed on August 29, 2012, the land was transformed into the city's Summit Park.

The community incorporated as a village in 1955 and as a city in 1961 largely to resist Cincinnati's plans to expand the airport for major commercial service.

On April 9, 1999, an F4 tornado struck Blue Ash and killed four people, one of the deadliest tornadoes in the Cincinnati area's history.

Although only about 13,400 people live in Blue Ash, its daytime population swells to roughly 55,000 because about 2,000 businesses operate inside the city limits.

Blue Ash hosts corporate operations including Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Belcan, Sunny Delight Beverages, and Kroger's technology division, Kroger Technology.

Blue Ash is home to UC Blue Ash College, a regional campus of the University of Cincinnati formerly known as Raymond Walters College.

Most of Blue Ash is served by the Sycamore Community School District, which has produced the most National Merit Scholars of any public school district in Ohio in recent years.

The city's annual Red, White, and Blue Ash celebration features what the city bills as the region's biggest Independence Day fireworks display, and Blue Ash's sister city is Ilmenau, Germany.
