Founded in 1803, Ross Township sits in south central Butler County and includes the villages of Ross and Millville. 6,400 residents are spread throughout the area with more arriving each year. Rural farms are disappearing and are being developed as city residents flee to a more relaxed country lifestyle. The area is rich in Native American archeological settings with several mound sites located on private property. Homes range from old-style residences to newly built homes on acreage or in subdivisions. Homes are available in all price ranges.

Butler County has three regional airports, including Butler County Regional in Hamilton, Hook Field in Middletown, and Miami University Field in Oxford. Cincinnati West Airport is less than 10 minutes away in Harrison; it’s a short 19-minute drive to the Greater Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport.
