  • Butler County History Is Here!
    BUTLER COUNTY HISTORY IS HERE! Historic Sites Historical Societies and History Research Facilities in Butler County Ohio BUTLER COUNTY HISTORY COLLABORATIVE Butler County, Ohio Butler County was formed in 1803, the same year Ohio became the 17th state. The county was named for Revolutionary War General Richard Butler. He was killed fighting Indians four years before the 1795 Treaty of Greeneville opened the Miami Valley to new settlers. The new county was located just north of Cincin- nati, a major gateway for migration to the Northwest Territory. It prospered throughout the 19th and 20th centuries with major industry, commerce, and prominent cities as well as profitable agriculture. In the 21st century Butler County and its commu- nities are experiencing significant revitalization. Museums, historic sites, historical societies, his- tory research facilities and related organizations tell its fascinating story. This booklet is a guide to unique architecture, significant artifacts, original doc- uments, changing exhibits and public programs. We encourage you to explore the county’s rich history and heritage. Hamilton, 1890 Lithograph 1 Early Settlement After 1795 pioneer migration moves rapidly into the lower Miami Valley. Earliest settlement features self-sustaining farms with local blacksmithing and local markets. Religious expression is important to communities, and vernacular architecture prevails.
