Symmes Township
 Attractive
estates, townhouses, condominiums and growing retail and
commercial areas now grace the hills of Symmes Township where
wildlife once roamed the sycamore woods; where farmers worked
the fertile soil near the Little Miami River; where
industrious Germans founded mill villages.
It's
quite a change since the first pioneers came to this area in
the 1790s. But a link remains between the first settlers and
today's suburban dweller- an appreciation for open spaces,
privacy and a less hectic life.
Symmes
Township bears the name of John Cleves Symmes whose purchase
of the lands between the two Miami rivers (the Miami Purchase)
in 1788 led to the founding of Cincinnati. Early residents
were German and Scotch-Irish.
Interstates
I-71 and I-275 have opened up Symmes to increasing
development. Homes are beautiful examples of today's
architectural brilliance, gathered together in warm, friendly
communities that welcome families, singles and empty-nesters.
And while industry and commercialism have ensured Symmes
Township's growing prosperity and contemporary services, a
sense of history still lives in some older buildings,
villages, and even life-long residents.

access to I-71, I-275 and I-75 takes Symmes residents to
