Tipp City, Ohio
Tipp City is a city in southern Miami County, Ohio, United States. The population was 10,274 at the 2020 census. Founded in 1840 as Tippecanoe City, it was renamed in 1938 because another town in Ohio was likewise named Tippecanoe. The city lies in the Miami Valley 15 miles (24 km) north of Dayton and sits along Interstate 75 near the Interstate 70 interchange. Tipp City is part of the Dayton metropolitan area.
Tippecanoe City was founded in 1840 along the developing Miami and Erie Canal. Its name derives from presidential candidate William Henry Harrison's nickname, Tippecanoe, which, in turn, was derived from his heroism at the Battle of Tippecanoe on November 7, 1811.
The early city was a popular stopping-off point for boatmen traveling along the Miami and Erie Canal. The original downtown purportedly included a large number of bars and a red light district. The now dry canal locks can be seen just east of downtown. Development of the railroads in the 1850s and 1860s put the canals out of business and slowed the city's initially rapid growth. Ruins of a repair shop (yard barn) for the old Inter-Urban rail system can still be seen on the outskirts of town. As Tippecanoe City grew, it merged with Hyattsville, a contiguous village located on present-day Hyatt Street. The Hyattsville post office served the entire city in 1862. Near the end of the American Civil War, on January 28, 1865, the Hyattsville post office transitioned to officially become the Tippecanoe City post office.
Three decades before ZIP Codes alleviated most misdeliveries nationwide, in the 1930s the U.S. Postal Service abbreviated the post office's name to Tipp City to resolve delivery errors with Tippecanoe, Ohio. Around 1938, the name Tipp City appears on postal maps.
Tippecanoe High School retains the former full name of the city. The development of U.S. Route 25 (County Road 25-A) and subsequently Interstate 75 brought construction and vibrancy back to the town throughout the 20th century.
On June 8, 2022, a tornado struck Tipp City, causing heavy damage to a Meijer distribution center in the area. The tornado strengthened just before hitting the city. It traveled 13.9 miles before ending near Casstown, Ohio. This and five other tornadoes were part of a tornado outbreak in Ohio, which had six tornadoes strike the state.
Tipp City is located on the Miami River, approximately 10 miles north of Dayton and has direct highway access to Interstate 75.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 7.64 square miles (19.79 km2), of which 7.53 square miles (19.50 km2) is land and 0.11 square miles (0.28 km2) is water.
