| Miamisburg is a city in Montgomery County, Ohio, United States. The population was 19,489 at the 2000 census. Originally, the small community had been known as "Hole's Station" since about 1797, when Zachariah Hole settled there with his family as protection from Indians. In the interim, many settlers had arrived in the area, mostly from Pennsylvania. The name Miamisburg was derived from the Miami Indian tribe that resided there, combining "Miamis" with "burg," which denotes a borough or town. By 1832, the unincorporated community had become a village and achieved City status about 100 years later. The city was the site of one of the first post-war U.S. Atomic Energy Commission facilities, beginning in 1947. The Dayton area had supported numerous secret operations for the War Department during WWII. As the war ended, the majority of these operations were moved to the Miamisburg Mound Laboratory which was operated by the Monsanto Chemical Company. The primary purpose of Mound Labs was to monitor all aspects of the US nuclear defense stockpile. Miamisburg Mound, the largest conical mound in Ohio, is attributed to the Adena archaeological culture.Of notable interest, Miamisburg is home to a Miami Indian Burial Mound (Tumulus)– Once serving as an ancient burial site, the Mound stands as perhaps the most recognizable historic landmark in Miamisburg. It is the largest conical burial Mound east of the Mississippi River and remains virtually intact from its origins hundreds of years ago. Located in a City park at 900 Mound Avenue, it is an Ohio historical site and serves as a popular attraction and picnic destination for area families. Visitors can climb to the top of the Mound via concrete steps built into its side. |
