How Reading began
Abraham Voorhees moved his family from New Jersey in 1794 and built a double log cabin on the west bank of Mill Creek, then platted a town around 1798 originally called Voorhees-Town, though the plat was not officially recorded until 1804. A Pennsylvania Dutch visitor, Harvey Redinbo, persuaded Voorhees to rename the settlement for Redinbo's own hometown of Reading, Pennsylvania. Reading grew fast on clothing manufacturing between 1830 and 1880, becoming the largest village in Hamilton County, and incorporated as a village in 1851 and a city in 1932. Census records document Reading as a sundown town: a 1912 Cincinnati Post article reported that African Americans were not allowed to live there or remain after dark, and the city's census counted essentially no Black residents from 1860 through 1960. Population peaked around 12,832 in 1960; the 2020 census recorded 10,600.
Settled 1794 (Abraham Voorhees), platted c. 1798, recorded 1804 (as Voorhees-Town), incorporated village, March 24, 1851; city, January 1, 1932, by Abraham Voorhees; renamed at the urging of Harvey Redinbo.
Where the name comes from
The town was first known as Voorhees-Town, for founder Abraham Voorhees. A Pennsylvania Dutch visitor named Harvey Redinbo convinced Voorhees to rename it Reading, after Redinbo's hometown of Reading, Pennsylvania.
Before the town
No Native village, mound, or documented encounter specific to Reading itself was found in the sources consulted.

Stories
A name changed by a visitor
Abraham Voorhees had already built his log cabin on Mill Creek and platted his own town, naming it Voorhees-Town after himself, when a Pennsylvania Dutch traveler named Harvey Redinbo came through and talked him into giving it up. Redinbo wanted the place named for his own hometown, Reading, Pennsylvania, and Voorhees agreed -- an unusual concession for a man who had put his own name on a map only to erase it at a stranger's suggestion. The renamed town went on to outgrow the man who founded it many times over: by the mid-1800s Reading's clothing factories had made it the largest village in Hamilton County, propelled by decades of population growth Voorhees-Town, a name that survives now only in old plat records, never saw.
A documented sundown town
In 1912, after a racially motivated attack in the area stirred what a Cincinnati Post reporter called greater indignation than similar attacks nearby, the paper reported plainly that "Negroes are not allowed to live in Reading or stay there after dark." It was not an isolated claim: Reading's own census returns from 1860 through 1960, a full century, recorded essentially no Black residents at all, the kind of pattern historians use to identify a sundown town -- a community that enforced racial exclusion by custom, intimidation, or open threat rather than by any law on the books. Reading was hardly unique in this among Cincinnati's ring of white-flight suburbs and mill towns, but it is one of the few in Hamilton County where a contemporary newspaper documented the practice explicitly, in the town's own words, rather than leaving it to be inferred from a century of one-sided census numbers alone.

Estimated, not measured. No rain gauge has ever stood inside Reading, so every figure here is worked out from the gauges around it - the nearest ones weighted most. Treat them as close estimates rather than readings.
47,956 days of records, 1893-01-01 to 2026-10-28. Source: NOAA NCEI GHCN-Daily, 3,240 gauges in and around Ohio. A day is "gauged" when a gauge standing inside the boundary reported it, and the value is the mean of those gauges. Otherwise it is interpolated by inverse distance from every gauge reporting within 50 miles. Nothing is carried forward, back-filled or smoothed. Against NOAA nClimDiv county monthly precipitation over 136,848 complete county-months (checked 2026-10-31): correlation 0.9515, median absolute difference 0.217 in a month. Built 2026-10-31 from the Cracked Buckeye precipitation archive. Snow is the softer number — snowfall is measured by hand with a ruler, no agency publishes a gridded county snowfall series, and blowing snow defeats every observer.
