History Henry
Tucker built Tucker's Station as the farthest outpost of
Cincinnati in 1793. Tucker's
Station was originally part of Springfield before it was renamed
Springdale. Tucker's Station was
later considered part of
Glendale.
The site is in what is now
Woodlawn,
Ohio, a suburb north of Cincinnati. Tucker's Station was
built in the northwest part of Section 4 of
Springfield Township (survey: R1-T3-S4
NE). The northwest corner of this section is the modern
corner of Glendale-Milford Road and Springfield Pike in Woodlawn,
Ohio. The station and Tucker farm were on 253 acres.
The settlement extended into Section 10 to the west and Section 9
to the southwest. (Each section is nearly one mile square or
640 acres.) This land is part of Symmes Purchase, also known
as the Miami Purchase. John Cleves Symmes of New Jersey
bought it through his Miami Company from Congress in 1788 on
recommendation of his friend Benjamin Stites who had seen the
fertility of the land in the 1780's.
