| history and facts Marble Cliff is a village in Franklin
County, Ohio, United States. The population was 646 at the 2000
census.
Marble Cliff was one of the first
suburbs of Columbus, Ohio, settled as a community in 1890 and
incorporated as the "Hamlet of Marble Cliff" in 1901. It took its
name from the Marble Cliff Quarry Co. (still in use today), and at
this time stretched all the way from the Scioto River to the
Olentangy River. In 1902, it detached all land but its present area,
and the area that separated to become Grandview Heights in 1906. The
village was named "Arlington" for a short time, which led its new
neighbor to the north, incorporated in 1918, to name itself Upper
Arlington. Marble Cliff is presently bordered by the cities of Upper
Arlington, Grandview Heights, and Columbus.
Most of the village's public services
are provided by contract with Grandview Heights, including police
and fire, and it is included in the Grandview Heights School
District and public library system.
