About Crescent Springs, KY

Originally a stop on the Cincinnati Southern Railroad, the name Crescent Springs could refer to either the shape of the tracks crossing through the community or to New Orleans's nickname "the Crescent City" after its shape beside the Mississippi River. (New Orleans was the southern terminus of the Cincinnati Southern, from which it was sometimes known as the " Queen and Crescent Railroad". ) In 1930, the International Labor Defense alleged that Crescent Springs was a sundown town where African Americans were not allowed to reside. As of the census of 2000, there were 3,931 people, 1,638 households, and 1,020 families residing in the city. The population density was 2,741.3 people per square mile (1,061.4/km²).
