After the Treaty of Greenville was signed with the Indians in
August of 1795, hundreds of settlers flooded into the rich Little
Miami and Great Miami valleys of Warren County.
Those who settled east of the Little Miami River were in the
Virginia Military Lands. They were mostly veterans of the
Revolution from Virginia. They were rewarded for their service to
their young nation by being given land in the Ohio County. The
pioneers who homesteaded between the Great Miami and the Little
Miami rivers from the northern part of Lebanon south to the Ohio
River were mostly from New Jersey. They bought land in Judge
Cleves’, Symmes Miami Purchase.
William Mounts and Martin Varner purchased the land from Robert
Todd. No blockhouse was erected, but several cabins were built in a
circle surrounding a spring.
It was called Mounts' Station. (There is a stone monument in honor
of this occasion located just south of the Little Miami River and
across from the gravel pit on lower Stubbs-Mills Road.)
