Amelia, OH: Once home to the United States' largest goldfish farm
Good things can come in small packages. With a population of nearly 5,000, Amelia, Ohio, is one of them. Tiny, charming Amelia was named after another charming Amelia (Bowdoin), a popular toll gate operator on the
Ohio Turnpike-Main Street. . Her home on Main Street is preserved across from where it was the original tollhouse. Amelia's first residents were stranded sailors from Massachusetts. During the Battle of New Orleans, the British sank their ship. The Ohio waters had receded too far for them to return by water, so they had to walk back. When they reached Clermont County, they decided they'd walked far enough. People have been stopping and falling for this village ever since. View Amelia City Guide
