Much of the land that is now known as Southgate was owned by the Shaler family, and the area remained a largely agricultural area until 1907 when around twenty-five families made their way into the beautiful woods near the Ohio River to make a new life. The city was quickly incorporated and named Southgate, since many of the residents' forefathers were the keepers of the south gate at London. Today, the city boasts a low amount of crime and a high quality of life that many residents enjoy. The word is out on this great city as well, as Southgate has seen a 9.5 increase in population from 2000 to 2010, according to City-Data. Many residents are also making their home here because it is easy on their wallet. Southgate enjoys a cost of living index that is more than 9 points below the national average, making it a very affordable place to live, work and play.

One of the biggest attractions in the area that many residents here put to use is the Southgate Community Center. Complete with a baseball field, volleyball court, walking trail, exercise stations, playground and fishing lake, there is plenty of recreation to be had in this popular meeting hall.
