In 1905, sawmill owner John Meyer used surplus lumber to build a subdivision of small homes north of Galbraith Road and west of Hamilton Avenue and called it Meyerville. Within the next 10 years, two other groups of homes were started and the three subdivisions were incorporated as the village of North College Hill in 1916. The village's affordable housing attracted a growing population, and 21st century North College Hill has matured into a diverse community. It is home to the Clovernook Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired, a center that provides education and employment to people with blindness or low vision, as well as Clovernook Country Club, one of the region's finest golf courses.
