The single most-compelling quality of the nearly 20 square miles known as Indian Hill is its village atmosphere. With a population of around 5,900 people, it’s technically a city but its lifestyle over the years has remained constant, that of a residential community which preserves the country atmosphere and the gifts nature has bestowed upon it. Indian Hill’s history begins with the Indian Tribes of the Shawnee, Miami and Delaware who came to the area to hunt and fish. In 1787, Benjamin Stites (veteran of the Revolutionary War) visited the area and then persuaded John Symmes to purchase a million acres. Symmes sold Stites 10,000 acres adjacent to the Ohio and Little Miami Rivers for $.66 an acre. As years past settles came and the area evolved into a farming community and later into a rural weekend destination. In the 1920s, the Camargo Realty Company divided lots into 25-acre plots as a district of grand home estates. Today, Indian Hill is zoned single-family residential or agriculture.
