The Diocese of Southern Ohio split from the Diocese of Ohio in 1875. The diocese’s original cathedral, St. Paul Episcopal Cathedral, Cincinnati, was located in downtown Cincinnati but was demolished in 1937 due to structural problems. Thomas A. Jaggar became the first bishop in 1875. The current bishop, Thomas E. Breidenthal, was consecrated April 28, 2007.
