History
Settled in 1795, Montgomery is one of the oldest settlements in Hamilton County. A log cabin was the first tavern of the community; this was a resting place for teamsters and travelers on the main road. In 1802, Nathaniel Terwilliger laid out the town. In 1806 and 1807 a number of people from Montgomery, New York, settled around this point for trade and farming, and named the village for their former home.
Montgomery incorporated as a village in 1910. The village became a coach stop on the Cincinnati–Zanesville Road, later known as the Montgomery Pike, with an inn, two taverns, a grist mill and a carding mill to process its agricultural products. It remained a small community until the 1960s when it became a bedroom community for people working in Cincinnati. In 1971, it was reincorporated as a city. Originally confined to the Sycamore Township limits, Montgomery began annexing land in neighboring Symmes Township in 1973. On January 1, 1986, Montgomery withdrew from Symmes Township by forming a paper township named Montgomery Township. On January 1, 1990, Montgomery also withdrew from Sycamore Township by making this paper township coextensive with the city.
During the COVID-19 pandemic Montgomery held a "reverse parade", setting up floats in Sycamore High School's parking lot and having residents drive by. The event made international news.
