==History== "Indian Hill" in Ohio is indeed rooted in Native American history. The area was originally inhabited by Native American tribes, including the Shawnee, Miami, and Delaware, who used the region for hunting and fishing. The name "Indian Hill" emerged in the early 1800s, reflecting the area's Native American heritage. Many of the village's roads follow the paths of early Native American trails, preserving the historical significance of the region. Later on, the Village of Indian Hill became a farming community which prospered as the nearby [[Little Miami Railroad]] provided cost effective shipping to [[Cincinnati]]. From about 1904, Cincinnatians bought up its farmhouses as rural weekend destinations. They reached Indian Hill on the Swing Line, a train running between downtown Cincinnati and Ramona Station; the site is now the location of Indian Hill's administration building at Drake and Shawnee Run roads. The rolling country appealed to a group of four Cincinnati businessmen who had built homes there in the early 1920s and envisioned a more ambitious rural settlement, persuading friends to join them in forming the Camargo Realty Company in 1924. Camargo assembled {{convert|12000|acre|km2}} of farmland and divided some into {{convert|25|acre|m2|adj=on}} plots, sold for $75 to $150 per acre, and a district of grand mansions with stables and outbuildings grew up, with [[kennel]]s that housed the Camargo Hunt. Some were authentic estates, such as the {{convert|1200|acre|km2|adj=on}} "Peterloon" of [[John J. Emery]], which has since been subdivided into lots as small as {{convert|1|acre|m2}}.<ref>{{cite book |title=Cincinnati: the Queen City Bicentennial Edition |author=Cincinnati Historical Society |year=1988 |publisher= Cincinnati Historical Society|isbn=0-911497-11-0 |page=135 }}</ref> One hundred percent of Indian Hill is zoned as single-family residential or agricultural.{{citation needed|date=October 2022}}
