Living in Amelia

The area was settled by a group of sailors coming from Massachusetts in 1813. The first official name of the town was Milton thanks to the number of lumber mills that began to pop up in the area. Eventually, the town had to apply for a post office and found that the name Milton was already taken. Instead, they changed the name to Amelia after a well-loved citizen, Amelia Bowdoin.

Today, the village is home to just under 5,000 people. Almost half the households in town have children under the age of 18, which shows the great attention to family that the village offers. Those who rent property here will find a number of activities for kids, many right in their own neighborhood. For instance, the town sponsors an annual Easter egg hunt and Christmas parade. You will also find that the local branch of the Clermont County Public Library offers classes and events for kids almost weekly. You can enjoy a number of neighborhood parks including Maple Grove Park and Spencer Shank Memorial Park.
