Troy, OH

Troy is a Miami County city along the Great Miami River, north of Dayton. It was platted around 1807 and still has a traditional courthouse-town feel, with a historic downtown, river setting, and local industry. The Troy-Hayner Cultural Center, a 1914 Romanesque mansion donated to the city by Mary Jane Harter Coleman Hayner, is one of its clearest civic landmarks. Troy feels like a substantial western Ohio city: practical, historic, and tied to both the river valley and the Dayton region.
