Walnut Hills, Dayton, Ohio


 Walnut Hills is a neighborhood in south east Dayton, Ohio. This map shows you the neighborhood boundary. Many years ago the area to the right of Highland Ave was called Ohmer Park due to the fact that Michael and Nicholas Ohmer owned that land. Nicholas had a fruit farm that covered most of the area. Michael was in the furniture manufacturing business. The land to the left of Highland Ave was Samuel D. Edgar's farm. The land was first settled by Robert Edgar who arrived in Dayton in 1796.

The neighborhood has a very active neighborhood association and you can view their web page HERE.
