Crestview is a city in Campbell County, Kentucky, United States. The population was 471 at the 2000 census.

History

The city of Crestview was originally founded as "Vet Village" in 1948 by veterans of World War II. The first mayor, William Toner was also a veteran who along with Michael Guidugli, Harold Shingshang, Edward Storer and Robert Munninghoff broke ground as the first residents of the tiny city. Located less than ten miles from downtown Cincinnati, this small piece of farmland quickly became a comfortable little burb for these young soldiers and their families. In 1952 the residents decide to rename the city through a contest. Many names were submitted but City of Crestview would forever replace Vet Village.
