Miami Township
 This
area was established as a township in 1791 and was settled by
Judge John Cleves Symmes of New Jersey, and by William Henry
Harrison and his grandson, Benjamin Harrison, both of whom
later held the office of President of the United States.
The
Township is made up of the Villages of Addyston, Cleves, North
Bend, and a rapidly developing unincorporated area east of
Cleves, The Village of Shady Lane. The terrain is an
interesting combination of hills and valleys, providing many
properties with Ohio River views. The North Bend of the Ohio
River is considered to be one of the three most scenic views
in the entire 1000 miles of the Ohio River course. Properties
range from small homes in the earliest settled areas to two
story designs in the Shady Lane area, which offers large lots,
a greenbelt, and recreational facilities to its residents.
Deer Run Country Club Estates is an area which features custom
homes in a Country Club atmosphere, with Club membership for
residents.
