Troy, Ohio, the county seat of Miami County, is a small city of 22,000, located on the Great Miami River in southwestern Ohio. Troy was established in 1807 and was incorporated in 1814. Transportation to and from Troy in the early days was by rail, river, and the Erie Canal which was built through the city in 1837. The first house in Troy, built in 1808 by Benjamin Overfield, was used as a school, inn, church, and courthouse. It still stands today on the corner of Water and Mulberry Streets where it is maintained as a museum. In January of 1888 the present Courthouse on West Main Street was completed.
