History
The community was earlier known as "Wisenburg" or "Wisenburgh" A post office named "Monfort" was established on March 17, 1900, with Frank Lumler as its first postmaster. The office was named in honor of Civil War Captain Elias Riggs Monfort, who was then the postmaster of Cincinnati. The office was discontinued on September 14, 1905. The name almost disappeared until the late 1920s when a name was needed for a new school district after the consolidation of three area districts and the name "Monfort Heights" was selected.
A 1944 study cited a population of 250 for Monfort Heights in 1920.
The first Cincinnati area McDonald's was opened by Lou Groen in Monfort Heights in 1959. It was at this restaurant that he created the iconic Filet-O-Fish sandwich to lure his Catholic customers during Lent and on Fridays.
