History

Miamiville was laid out in 1849, and named for the nearby Little Miami River.[4] A post office called Miamiville has been in operation since 1848.[5]

Miamiville's low profile as an unincorporated community was a benefit during the Great Depression, when Prohibition outlawed alcohol consumption in the United States. The Miami Boat Club operated as a speakeasy during the 1920s and 1930s.[6]

Miamiville also played a small role in the Civil War during the Battle of Miamiville as rebels known as Morgan's Raids marched toward Camp Dennison and Cincinnati in the 1860s.[7]
