Miamisburg was first known as Hole's Station when it was founded in 1797 by the Hole family of Virginia. Patriarch Zacariah Hole built a stockade on the west bank of the Miami River, which soon attracted other squatters and settlers from Pennsylvania and other states. In 1818, four Pennsylvania men offered for sale at public auction 90 square lots of one-fifth of an acre each as part of a new town dubbed Miamisburg. By 1832, the unincorporated community had become a village, and Miamisburg achieved City status about a century later.
Miamisburg's ancient Miami Indian Burial Mound, located in a city park, is the city's most recognizable historic landmark, as well as the largest conical burial Mound in Ohio. Indicative of the Adena culture, the Mound was built by the Miami on a 100-foot-high bluff, using hundreds of thousands of baskets of specially selected and graded earth, and measures 877 feet in circumference and 65 feet in height. Visitors can climb to the top of the Mound using concrete steps built into its side, or picnic and play in the surrounding park. | |
