About Lockland,OH

The birth of the town, and its name, are related to the first set of lock gates that one would have encountered heading north on the Miami and Erie Canal. The canal served as a major transportation route linking commerce from as far as New Orleans to New York City. Many people and industry were attracted to the western Ohio area by the idea of connecting Lake Erie to the Ohio River. Lockland provided an abundance of water power, having a 15-foot (4.6 m) difference in water tables. This allowed for a water mill which ground flour for local farmers.
