Cincinnati Enquirer, 19 August 1908, page 9

WANT AN ARISTOCRATIC NAME


Residents of the territory along the Licking pike, just south of Newport, formerly known as Finchtown, have come to the conclusion that the name is too plebeian and have chosen the name Andrews instead, which name has benn adopted by the mercantile agencies.

The immense modern distillery of the Old 76 Distilling Company, the big Andrews steel mill and a number of slaughter houses are located there. Finchtown was named after Colonel Finch in the early fifties.
