Named After
James Loveland
“The Kentucky landowners who were dissatisfied with
their family land titles sold their holdings and bought
land in the Miami valleys. Colonel Thomas Paxton who
won his spurs in General Wayne’s army and became
enamoured with the Miami Country, sold his farm in
Kentucky primarily because of a faulty title and bought
1,200 acres where Loveland now stands. He came here
at the age of sixty and bought numerous tracts from
Colonel Lytle, becoming a wealthy man before his death
in 1813. The names of ten of his children who came
to Ohio are associated with commodious residences,
beautiful gardens and great orchards.”
—William E. Smith, Southwestern Ohio, The Miami Valleys

“But here the valley
loveliest, Of all within
the blooming West, In
morning light before me
lies, A second earthly
Paradise; And here Ohio’s
fairest stream, Miami
glides— my chosen theme.”
—W. H. Venable, 1872, from “June on the Miami”
“Blue Hole, Little Miami River,” 1851
The StoryThe story of the Loveland Frogman begins on a barren stretch of road that runs
along the Miami River in Clermont County, just on the outskirts of the small town of
Loveland Ohio. At approximately 3:30 a.m. in May of 1955, an unnamed business man
claimed to witness three bipedal quasi reptilian creatures gathered at the side of the
road. The business man pulled over to the curb and observed the creatures for
what he estimated to be about 3 minutes. He went on to describe the creatures as
being between 3 and 4 feet tall, covered with a leathery skin and having webbed
hands and feet.

The best way to experience our town−The Loveland Trail

There’s a Castle?
The StoryChâteau Laroche, also known as the Loveland Castle, is a museum on the banks of the Little Miami River in Loveland, Ohio, United States. A folly of a historical European castle, construction began in 1929 by Boy Scout troop leader Harry Andrews. He built the castle on two free plots of land that his scouts obtained by paying for one-year subscriptions to The Cincinnati Enquirer. When Andrews died in 1981 he willed the castle to his Boy Scout troop the Knights of the Golden Trail.
A Word from HarryChâteau Laroche was built as an expression and
reminder of the simple strength and rugged
grandeur of the mighty men who lived when
Knighthood was in flower. It was their knightly zeal
for honor, valor and manly purity that lifted mankind
out of the moral midnight of the dark ages and
started it towards the gray dawn of human hope.
—‘Sir’ Harry Andrews
