Amelia

Greater Cincinnati Area

Amelia was settled in 1809 with log cabins at its first homes. A sawmill was built around 1826 followed by the construction of several other mills. The area was hence called Milltown which turned into Milton. In 1836 the village was renamed Amelia in honor of Amelia Bowdoin, a popular tollgate operator on the Ohio Turnpike. Once an area where only farmers and artisans lived, the natural country charms of the village of Amelia are being rediscovered. Many have already invested in beautifully wooded building sites of fast growing value. There are 4,800 residents in the village. You will find several large businesses in Amelia including: L3, TQL, American Modern Insurance, Milacron Plastics, to name a few. In 2019, Amelia residents voted to surrender village powers and become unincorporated areas as part of Pierce and Batavia Townships.

With downtown Cincinnati about 30 minutes away, this carefully planned community has suddenly attained the status of a colorful new Cincinnati suburb. The mixture of rolling woodlands and farmlands, fine old homes, elegant new colonials and ranch designs creates a new image for Amelia that is proudly old and gracefully new. Yet, with all the area’s new growth, residents here work energetically to preserve its rural flavor. Neighbors share the village spirit, its simple charms, and the excitement of being part of the bright future Amelia holds.
