'''The Village of Indian Hill''' is a city in [[Hamilton County, Ohio]], United States, and a suburb of the [[Cincinnati–Northern Kentucky metropolitan area|Greater Cincinnati area]]. The population was 6,087 at the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]]. Prior to 1970, Indian Hill was incorporated as a village, but under Ohio law became designated as a city once its population was verified as exceeding 5,000. The municipality then changed its name to add "Village", and legally it is known as "The City of The Village of Indian Hill". The Village of Indian Hill is served by the [[Indian Hill Exempted Village School District]] (public school district).

According to ''[[Forbes]]'', which authored a list of the wealthiest zip codes in Ohio in 2023, Indian Hill was in third place, directly behind the villages of [[Coldstream, Ohio|Coldstream]], another suburb within Greater Cincinnati, and [[Hunting Valley, Ohio|Hunting Valley]], just outside of [[Cleveland, Ohio|Cleveland]]. The neighborhood's [[median household income]], according to the [[United States Census Bureau]] and ''Forbes'', was $194,643 as of 2021, while the [[Real estate appraisal|median home value]] was listed at $918,000.<ref>{{cite web| title = The Richest Cities in Ohio As Revealed By The Latest Census Data | url = https://www.forbes.com/sites/andrewdepietro/2023/07/31/the-richest-cities-in-ohio-as-revealed-by-the-latest-census-data/ | website = www.forbes.com | date = 31 July 2023 | access-date = 9 July 2024 }}</ref>

==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}}
