Port Union

Among the communities of Ohio, Port Union stands out for its surviving canal-era settlement beside the Great Miami River in the Cincinnati metropolitan area. The community developed in the 19th century along the Miami and Erie Canal, which connected the Ohio River with Lake Erie before rail transport took over. Its historic core, recognized as the Port Union Historic District, retains brick and frame buildings that recall the river-and-canal economy of southwestern Ohio. Port Union sits where suburban Cincinnati meets the wider Great Miami River valley, away from the city’s downtown core.
