Eaton, Ohio
Eaton is a city in and the county seat of Preble County, Ohio, United States. It is approximately 24 miles (39 km) west of Dayton. The population was 8,375 at the 2020 census.
Eaton was founded and platted in 1806 by William Bruce. The village derives its name from William Eaton, the U.S. Consul General to Tunis from 1797–1803 and commander of U.S. military forces in First Barbary War. In addition to the city of Eaton and the county of Preble, various streets in Eaton (including Barron, Decatur, Israel, Wadsworth, and Somers) were named in honor of heroes of the First Barbary War and Second Barbary War.
The town grew quickly following its establishment. In 1846, the town first had 1000 inhabitants. This growth was primarily derived from the town's location at the strategic junction of two turnpikes. In 1849, Eaton was the site of a cholera outbreak. About half of the inhabitants fled; of the remaining 600 people, 120 died. In June 1859, a fire in Eaton destroyed thirteen of its primary business establishments. The total loss was estimated at $40,000 to $50,000. Caused by incendiaries, the fire scorched the courthouse and left it a brown color.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 6.20 square miles (16.06 km2), of which 6.19 square miles (16.03 km2) is land and 0.01 square miles (0.03 km2) is water.
The city includes Crystal Lake and Seven Mile Creek. Parks include: Fort St. Clair, Water Works Park, 7-Mile Park, and Clarence Hook Memorial Park.
As of the 2020 census, Eaton had a population of 8,375. The median age was 43.8 years. 21.3% of residents were under the age of 18 and 23.9% of residents were 65 years of age or older. For every 100 females there were 89.0 males, and for every 100 females age 18 and over there were 85.9 males age 18 and over.
96.0% of residents lived in urban areas, while 4.0% lived in rural areas.
There were 3,663 households in Eaton, of which 24.8% had children under the age of 18 living in them. Of all households, 39.7% were married-couple households, 18.3% were households with a male householder and no spouse or partner present, and 34.3% were households with a female householder and no spouse or partner present. About 36.1% of all households were made up of individuals and 18.3% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
