Piqua

Among the cities of Ohio, Piqua stands out for its position on the Great Miami River and an industrial story that includes the Piqua Nuclear Power Facility. The river long shaped settlement and transport in this part of western Ohio, while the route of the former Miami and Erie Canal also passed through the city. Piqua’s name recalls the Shawnee presence in the region; nearby Pickawillany was an important 18th-century Native American village and trading center. In the 1960s, Piqua became home to the United States’ first municipally owned nuclear power plant, a short-lived experimental facility.
