History of Indian Hill
Indian Hill started as a simple farming community. Farmers could easily ship their goods to Cincinnati using the nearby Little Miami Railroad.
Around 1904, people from Cincinnati began buying farmhouses in Indian Hill. They used these as places to relax on weekends away from the city. They would travel there by train.
In the early 1920s, four businessmen from Cincinnati bought homes in Indian Hill. They wanted to create a special rural area. In 1924, they formed the Camargo Realty Company. This company bought about 12,000 acres (4,856 hectares) of farmland. They then divided some of it into large plots, often 25 acres (10 hectares) each.
Soon, many grand mansions with stables and other buildings were built. Some of these were very large, like "Peterloon," which was 1,200 acres (485 hectares). Today, these large estates have been divided into smaller lots.
Every part of Indian Hill is set aside for single-family homes or for farming.
