History
Formed in 1807 from Montgomery County
An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.
Miami was created from Montgomery in 1807 and named after the Miami people. Between 1809 and 1819, Miami lost territory to the creation of Darke County and Shelby County.
