Symmes Township

Located in the northeast corner of Hamilton County, Symmes Township is home to about 16,000 residents. Named after John Cleves Symmes, whose “Miami Purchase” paved the way for Greater Cincinnati’s founding, the township is a prosperous suburban area served by multiple public school districts: Indian Hill, Loveland, and Sycamore Community Schools. The township includes several unincorporated communities such as Camp Dennison and Sixteen Mile Stand. Symmes Township Park offers three playgrounds, picnic shelters, walking and exercise trails, and a bird sanctuary.
