Geography

The Village of Indian Hill is located at 39°11′57″N 84°20′23″W.[10]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 18.65 square miles (48.30 km2), of which 18.55 square miles (48.04 km2) is land and 0.10 square miles (0.26 km2) is water.[11] Its physical characteristics run the gamut from flat, open, grassy fields to heavily wooded, steeply sloped, mature canopy forest.  There are meandering streams, dark pine stands, and intriguing geological formations with a plethora of fossils.[12]

History

The Village of Indian Hill began as a farming community which prospered as the nearby Little Miami Railroad provided cost effective shipping to Cincinnati. From about 1904 Cincinnatians bought up its farmhouses as rural weekend destinations. They reached Indian Hill on the Swing Line, a train running between downtown Cincinnati and Ramona Station; the site is now the location of Indian Hill's administration building at Drake and Shawnee Run roads.

The rolling country appealed to a group of four Cincinnati businessmen who had built homes there in the early 1920s and envisioned a more ambitious rural settlement, persuading friends to join them in 1924 in forming the Camargo Realty Co. Camargo assembled 12,000 acres (49 km2) of farmland and divided some into 25-acre (100,000 m2) plots, sold for $75 to $150 per acre, and a district of grand mansions with stables and outbuildings grew up, with kennels that housed the Camargo Hunt. Some were authentic estates, such as the 1,200-acre (4.9 km2) "Peterloon" of John J. Emery, which has since been subdivided into lots as small as 1 acre (4,000 m2).[13] One hundred percent of Indian Hill is zoned as single-family residential or agricultural.[14]
