Located in Miami County
Tipp City. A unique blend of history and progress, where time doesn't stand still but you might find it peeking over your shoulder! The footprints of the past have made an indelible impression here and not merely in the restored architecture. Imagine a time when community meant working together for survival, for progress or just for fun In Tipp City, this spirit of community, the working together, the intense pride are reflected today. With a population of 6500, Tipp City certainly fits the description of a small town. The very phrase evokes images of cheering the home team to victory, of children playing in the park, of leaving the back door open so the neighbors don't have to knock. But there is more to Tipp than this comforting old fashioned scene. Add an excellent academic environment, cultural activities, extensive recreational facilities, strong industrial base and outstanding medical care. HISTORY OF TIPP CITY
In 1840 John Clark envisioned a bustling city where the Miami-Erie Canal intersected with the road that is now called State Route 571 (Main Street in Tipp City). In selling lots, Clark required that no log structures be erected. Thus, the original buildings were constructed of frame and brick, many of which remain today.
The name Tippecanoe was derived from William Henry Harrison's presidential campaign slogan, Tippecanoe and Tyler, too! In honor of Harrison, John Clark called his city-to-be Tippecanoe. A few years later, the citizens unofficially added City, and it was called this until 1938, when the legal name was shortened to Tipp City.
From 1840 to 1850, the rowdy canal town was booming. However, in the 1850's the railroad came roaring in and commerce on the canal ceased. This did not stop Tipp City from growing into a great town as more housing and industries have continued to pop up throughout the years.
