Cincinnati Street Gas Lamps, Historic gas lamp district in Cincinnati, United States.

The Cincinnati Street Gas Lamps district encompasses over 1,100 functional gas lights distributed across thirteen neighborhoods, Columbia Township, and Sycamore Township.

The Cincinnati Gas Light and Coke Company initiated the installation of street gas lamps in 1837, with an extensive network of 5,290 lamps recorded by 1875.

These gas lamps represent the evolution of nineteenth-century technology in urban life, serving as physical markers of Cincinnati's industrial development and growth.

The City of Cincinnati maintains these historical gas lamps, and residents can report malfunctioning units through the municipal services phone line at 513-591-6000.

Within the historic district, 1,109 gas lights remain operational, with the earliest lamp dating to 1843, making it one of the largest collections in the United States.
