Historians believe that the city of Amelia was first settled in 1809 — the city was named after a woman who was a well-known operator of the Ohio turnpike tollgate. Today Amelia is located east of the City of Cincinnati, outside the 275 loop. It is south of Batavia, north of New Richmond, and west of Bethel. The city’s website has an informative page for people who are, “New In Town,” as well as highlighting the local government officials, updated community events, & additional helpful information. The community hosts a variety of events for its residents, such as a Halloween Festival, a city-wide Yard Sale, and a Garden Club.

GOOD EATS
In addition to the chain restaurants that you’d find in most communities, Goshen offers a handful of local favorites. The Goshen Grind building is a bank-turned-coffee shop. With over 200 five star reviews, Goshen Grind is a well-loved coffee shop & bakery – even offering a handful of Paleo options for health conscience residents and a drive thru when you’re in a hurry. Although only open seasonally, Sprinkles Soft Serve & Tasty Treats is a welcome destination on a hot summer day. Other local favorites include:
- Critter’s Tavern
- Lori’s American Grille
- BBQ Highlife & Hang
SHOPPING AND ENTERTAINMENT
Being that Goshen is a rural area, there are a handful of outdoor activities to fill up your weekends. The most well-known spot for hiking, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, & camping is by far Stonelick Lake State Park. The area is known for its clean campsite & quaint views. Close by Stonelick is Pringles Orchard – a local family owned farm, providing home grown produce to its patrons. Whether you’re there to pick up a few pumpkins in October or snap an outdoorsy shot for Instagram – you won’t be disappointed. The third local favorite is Alpaca Paradise Farm. Open to the public on Fridays and Saturdays, you can enjoy a visit with the alpacas, or purchase one of your own! For additional options for yourself, family, or friends, a short drive to Milford, Loveland, or Mason is all you need.
