==History==
The United Coke and Gas Company built a number of Otto-Hoffman type coke ovens circa 1905 for the Hamilton Otto Coke Company. The coke plant covered about {{convert|50|acre|m2}} with a battery of 120 coke ovens, thus New Miami was referred to as Coke Otto. The property was purchased in 1937 by [[AK Steel Holding|The American Rolling Mill Company]] which changed its name to [[ARMCO]] in 1948. The company is now [[AK Steel]] Holdings in [[Middletown, Ohio]]. One of Armco's best-known products may be the [[crash barrier]]s installed around many auto-racing tracks, particularly in [[Formula One]]. These barriers are commonly called "Armco". New Miami was incorporated as a village in 1929.

Around January 2013, New Miami entered into a contract with Optotraffic to fit the village with speed cameras around [[US-127]].  Those caught speeding in the area of the village would be force to pay a fee of ninety-five dollars, but would not result in points being added to their driver's license. By February 2014, the camera system that was in place was stopped by a Butler County Judge. At the time, the village had reported that it had received at least one million dollars during the period the system was up.<ref>[http://www.fox19.com/story/19848545/new-miami-residents-fired-up-over-speed-cameras-95-for-ticket New Miami residents fired up over speed cameras {{!}} FOX19 NOW]</ref><ref>[http://www.journal-news.com/news/judge-orders-new-miami-stop-using-speed-cameras/ryYxUjXMvZcDEvzAJmwcQK/ Judge orders New Miami to stop using speed cameras {{!}} Journal-News]</ref><ref>[https://www.foxnews.com/politics/judge-deals-blow-to-ohio-villages-use-of-speeding-traffic-cameras/ Judge deals blow to Ohio village's use of speeding traffic cameras {{!}} Fox News]</ref><ref>[http://www.wlwt.com/article/judge-issues-injunction-in-new-miami-speed-camera-lawsuit/3539908 Judge issues injunction in New Miami speed camera lawsuit {{!}} WLWT-TV]</ref>  In December 2015, the village created a new system with Blue Line Solutions to allow officers to use the otherwise automatic speed cameras, which went into full effect in February 2016 with some modifications.<ref>[http://www.wcpo.com/news/local-news/butler-county/new-miami-crafts-new-speed-camera-law-hoping-for-their-return New Miami crafts new speed camera law, hoping for their return {{!}} WCPO]</ref><ref>[http://www.wlwt.com/article/new-miami-brings-back-speed-cameras-with-changes/3560941 New Miami brings back speed cameras, with changes {{!}} WLWT-TV]</ref><ref>[http://www.fox19.com/story/31131347/attorney-new-miami-speed-cameras-includes-quota-in-speeding-ticket-contract Village changes speed camera contract amid FOX19 NOW investigation {{!}} FOX19 NOW]</ref>

A lawsuit, ''Barrow v. Village of New Miami'' took place from 2014 to 2017 that would eventually force New Miami to pay back the close to two million the village received from the fines and the over one million that was paid to Optotraffic over the approximately forty-five thousand citations that were issued during the program.<ref name="Ohio Speed Camera Refund"/><ref>[http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/local/judge-rules-new-miami-speeders-owed-million/FbWN4jT8ZWzKc8mihqnTgI/ Judge rules New Miami speeders owed $3 million {{!}} Dayton Daily News]</ref><ref>[https://www.foxnews.com/us/judge-orders-ohio-village-to-pay-back-3-million-to-lead-footed-drivers Judge orders Ohio village to pay back $3 million to lead-footed drivers {{!}} Fox News]</ref>
