Indian Hill Ohio Indian Hill Ohio, just a few miles northeast of the City of Cincinnati. First settled in 1795, Indian Hill in its early years saw pioneer farmers, millers, and merchants. Earlier, its inhabitants were from the Shawnee, Miami and Delaware tribes, drawn to the area by its abundant source of water and fertile soil for their crops. Indians roamed the tree-covered gently rolling hills long before Major Benjamin Sites, surveyor, trader, and Army officer, came to the area in 1787 and purchased the scenic land for 66 cents an acre. At the time of incorporation the population of Indian Hill's almost 20 square miles (equaling about 1/4 the area of Cincinnati at that time) was 1,500. Since then, the population has grown to over 5,000 persons, which gives the "Village" the official designation of a "city" with a council-manager form of government. The seven-person Council, elected at large for two-year terms, selects one of its members as Mayor. The mayor presides over Council meetings, serves as judge in Mayor's Court, which has jurisdiction over Village ordinances, and is the ceremonial head of the Village of Indian Hill. The professional City Manager conducts the day-to-day business of the community, referring to Council matters that pertain to basic Village policy.

Education is a top priority with
the residents of Indian Hill, with public, private, and parochial schools serving the
area. The Exempted Village School District (established in 1951) traces its history back
to the remaining one-room schoolhouses located in the Village, and even further back to
the first settlers' log cabin schools which these brick structures replaced. Today
professional educators operate the modern, award-winning schools that make up the Indian
Hill system. Cincinnati Country Day School is also located within the Village. Founded in
1926, Country Day is a private school with a headmaster-style organization and draws
students from all of metropolitan Cincinnati.
