Spring Valley

Spring Valley is a small village located in Greene County, Ohio, with fewer than 500 residents. It is known for its rural charm, natural beauty, and recreational opportunities. 

Spring Valley was platted in 1844 along the banks of the Little Miami River and developed as a quiet agricultural community. The name "Spring Valley" likely comes from the area's natural springs and valley geography. Historically, the village served as a stop on early transportation routes (Cincinnati-Xenia Pike, Little Miami Railroad) and has retained its small-town character over the decades.

Spring Valley is adjacent to the Spring Valley Wildlife Area, a 842-acre natural reserve featuring wetlands, a lake, and forested areas. It's a popular destination for birdwatching, fishing, hiking, and hunting. The combination of village access and natural surroundings makes Spring Valley a hub for outdoor recreation.
