Madisonville is a neighborhood in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Madisonville was established in 1809 as Madison, Ohio after the newly elected President James Madison, the fourth president of the United States. Prior to 1809 settlers had already begun to arrive in the territory.
The first permanent setter was Joseph Ward, a sixty-five year old Revolutionary War veteran from New Jersey. Joseph and his two sons, Usual and Israel, came overland by horseback intending to settle in the new outpost of Columbia. Joseph's wife, Phebia, and other sons and daughters traveled by flatboat down the Ohio River to be reunited at Columbia.
Seeing the obvious flooding at that location they decided to go up higher and settled in what was to become Madisonville. Joseph and his sons built the first house, a log cabin, in 1797 along an old Indian trail near what is now Whetsel and Monning Avenue.
By 1926 a Post Office was established in the village and the name was changed to Madisonville to avoid duplication with another Madison, Ohio.

Hotels Close to Coney Island Park
Coney Island is an amusement park in the California neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio and Anderson Township Hamilton County, on the banks of the Ohio River east of Downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. It is located in "Cincinnati's Playland".
Coney Island started in the 1870s as an apple orchard farm owned by James Parker, who realized that his location along the Ohio River was a profitable location to attract people looking to visit. The orchard was sold to Ohio Grove Corporation and was officially renamed "Grove Park, The Coney Island of the West," and opened June 21, 1886. In 1887, the Grove Park name was dropped and the park renamed to "Coney Island."
Over the years, the park became a full-fledged amusement park, complete with rides and carnival games. In that capacity, Coney Island was a Cincinnati institution. However, the park's proximity to the river made it prone to frequent flooding. In 1968, park management entered into talks with Taft Broadcasting for the purpose of developing a new park on higher ground. Taft responded by buying Coney Island outright in 1969, and as a division of Taft Broadcasting, Coney Island began construction on the new park, 25 miles North of Cincinnati on Interstate 71. The park closed its amusements on September 6, 1971. Almost all of the rides were moved to the new Kings Island theme park in nearby Mason, Ohio. However, the Sunlite Pool — the largest recirculating swimming pool in the world — remained open, and remains a popular summertime destination for area families, with several water slides, as well as swimming lessons.
When Kings Island opened to the north of Cincinnati in 1972, and many of Coney's amusement rides were moved to the new park, Taft Broadcasting intended to sell the park's land for redevelopment. However, with the company's development of Kings Dominion in Virginia, as well as its acquisition of Carowinds on the North Carolina-South Carolina border, the property's redevelopment was a low priority. Thus, the company maintained the property as an amusement facility, though not competing with its successor park.
Near where the Wildcat and Shooting Star roller coasters once stood, the Riverbend Music Center opened at Coney in 1984. This amphiteater features a covered seating pavilion, and is the summer home of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and Pops, as well as a venue for touring popular musical acts.
When Kings Island was purchased by Paramount Communications (which later became part of Viacom) in 1992 (as part of the then-new Paramount Parks group), the ownership of Coney Island and Kings Island was finally separated. No longer held back by its corporate parents (Coney Island is still owned by a successor to the Taft Broadcasting Company), Coney Island has resurrected itself as a traditional amusement park, with familiar rides such as the "Tilt-A-Whirl" and bumper cars, as well as carnival games and musical shows. Over a period of time, the park's management is attempting to restore the heyday image of the property.

National Baptist Convention

~15.43 miles from Batavia city center
Hotels Close to National Baptist Convention
In 1880, about 150 Baptist pastors met in Montgomery, Alabama, and formed the Baptist Mission Convention. On September 24, 1895 this Convention merged with two other conventions and formed the National Baptist Convention of the United States of America. The 1880 meeting and formation of the Foreign Mission Convention was accepted as the origin of The National Baptist Convention, USA, Incorporated. The path to the formation of the Convention was characterized by many previous cooperative efforts and throughout its history there have been many ups and downs, peaks and valleys, triumphs and failures, splits and attempts at unification.
The root of cooperative efforts began in the antebellum period. In the South there were some independent black Baptist churches which belonged to white associations. Attempts to form all black churches into associations or conventions were not allowed. The first attempts at cooperative efforts began in the North. Ohio and Illinois led the way. In 1834 black Baptists in Ohio formed the Providence Baptist Association. Following the lead of the Baptists of Ohio, in 1838 Illinois black Baptists formed the Wood River Baptist Association.
As early as 1840, black Baptists sought to develop a cooperative movement beyond state lines. Baptists in New York and the Middle Atlantic states formed the American Baptist Missionary Convention. The spirit of cooperation movements beyond state lines soon spread westward. In 1864 the black Baptists of the West and South Organized the Northwestern Baptist Convention and the Southern Baptist Convention.' In 1866 these two conventions met with the American Baptist Convention and formed the Consolidated American Baptist Convention. One of the great successes of the Consolidated American Baptist Convention was the support given to black Baptists in the South to form State Conventions. After emancipation black Baptists in the South, some with the support of the Consolidated Convention, formed their own State Conventions. Among these were Alabama, North Carolina, Virginia, Arkansas, and Kentucky. Despite the pioneer work of the consolidated convention, regionalism continued among black Baptists. In 1873 the black Baptists, of the West formed the General Association of the Western States and Territories, and in 1874 the East organized the New England Baptist Missionary Convention. This continued regionalism and other factors caused the decline and eventual demise of the Consolidated American Baptist Missionary Convention.
The formation of the Foreign Mission Convention was to some degree a result of the demise of the Consolidated Convention. Its death created a vacuum in mission work, especially for African missions. In response to this void, Rev. William W. Colley, a missionary to Africa under the Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention issued a call for black Baptists to meet in Montgomery, Alabama for the purpose of organizing a national convention to do extensive foreign missionary work. At the initial meeting, Rev. W. H. Alpine of Alabama was elected president, and he is considered to be the first president of the National Baptist Convention. Subsequently, two other national conventions were formed. In 1886, Rev. William Simmons of Kentucky led in the formation of the American National Baptist Convention, and In 1893 Rev. W. Bishop Johnson of Washington, D.C. was the leading person in the formation of the National Baptist Convention. With the desire to have one convention remained alive, This movement reached its fruition in 1895 at the Friendship Baptist Church in Atlanta, when these three conventions came together to form the National Baptist Convention of the United States of America. The heart of the organization of the Convention was that the three former conventions served as the three boards of the convention: Foreign Missions, Home Missions, and Education.
Rev. E. C. Morris was elected president of the National Baptist Convention when it was formed in 1895 and served for 27 years. His tenure was important for laying the foundation of the Convention. In addition to growth and organization, one of the greatest achievements during his presidency was the formation of National Baptist Publishing House in Nashville, Tennessee. One of the motivating factors for the formation of the National Baptist Convention was the desire of blacks to publish literature written by their own ministers. The American Baptist Publication Society had refused to publish writings of black ministers in their publications in 1890 because of resistance from their Southern clients. This event, more than any other, motivated blacks to desire their own Convention and publication agency. One year after the formation of the Convention, 1896, the National Baptist Publication Board came into existence. Under the leadership of Richard Boyd the National Baptist Publishing House was established in Nashville, Tennessee. It was given the right to supply National Baptist churches with all of their church and Sunday School supplies. In a short time the publishing house became the largest black publishing enterprise in the world. The twenty-seven years of Morris' leadership represented the formative period for the Convention.
The outstanding presidency of Morris was marred by two splits. In 1897, a group of National Baptist pastors left the convention and formed the Lott Carey Foreign Mission Convention. The separation was centered on two issues: the location of the foreign mission board and greater cooperation with white Baptists. The second split came in 1915 and over ownership and operation of the Publishing Board. Of all of the agencies of the convention, the Publishing Board was the most successful, under the leadership of R. H. Boyd. Leaders and pastors of the convention became suspicious of the actions of the Publishing Board when they did not receive the reports they thought the convention ought to receive. A debate ensued concerning the ownership of the Publishing Board. Those who supported Boyd and his view that the Board was independent of the convention formed the National Baptist Convention of America. It became known as the unincorporated convention. Because of the question of incorporation, leaders who remained in the original convention led a movement to incorporate the convention. The constitution was amended in 1916 and the convention was later incorporated, naming itself the National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc.
Upon the death of E.C. Morris, L. K. Williams became President of the Convention in 1924. Several notable accomplishments were made during his sixteen years. One of his major concerns was a publishing board. Williams appointed L. G. Jordan as General Secretary of the Board and laid plans for a new building. The building was opened for inspection in 1925. On the recommendation of President Williams, it was named the Morris Building in honor of the noble service and legacy of E. C. Morris. During the Williams tenure a Laymen's Department was also established.
David V. Jemison succeeded Williams as President of the Convention. The two major accomplishments during the thirteen years of Jemison's presidency, 1940 to 1953, were paying off the mortgage on the Morris Memorial Building and the purchase of the Bath House in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
In 1953, Joseph H. Jackson of Chicago became President of the Convention. Jackson served longer than any president, 1953 to 1982. Among President Jackson's many contributions was the adding of many new commissions and the restructuring of the convention. He also purchased the National Baptist Freedom Farm and set up an unrestricted scholarship at Roosevelt University.
It was during the Jackson tenure that a third split occurred in the convention. The two key issues were tenure and the lack of support of the civil rights movement. Dr. Gardner C. Taylor of New York challenged Jackson for the presidency, but lost. After the election, a group led by Dr. L. Venchael Booth, formed a new convention at the Zion Baptist Church, Cincinnati, Ohio in 1961, calling itself the Progressive National Baptist Convention.
In 1983, T. J. Jemison became President of the Convention and served in that position for twelve years. His crowning achievement was the building of the Baptist World Center, which provided a Headquarters for the Convention.
Henry Lyons of Florida was elected President in 1994. The Lyons tenure was characterized by much activity. He established a Unified Program, reduced the debt on the Baptist World Center, and dissolved the debt on the Sunday School Publishing Board. In addition, many commissions were added to the convention. Legal problems, however, forced Lyons to resign from the presidency. Dr. S. C. Cureton, Vice President-At-Large, took over the leadership of the Convention and served the remainder of the Henry Lyons tenure.
In 1999, William J. Shaw, Pastor of the White Rock Baptist Church of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania became the Convention's president under the theme of "Jesus Christ Only, Always" and building his agenda and administration on the VISA Principles: Vision, Integrity, Structure and Accountability. The Shaw administration is credited with re-establishing the integrity and credibility of the Convention.
On September 10, 2009, Dr. Julius R. Scruggs, who served in the Shaw administration as the First Vice President for ten years, was elected to the Presidency. Dr. Scruggs ran his campaign under the theme of, "Solidarity with the Savior."
