First settled about 1805 along the banks of the Whitewater River, the county grew from a farming community to a bustling center of commerce and industry. We encourage you to visit us and experience all we have to offer!
WELCOME TO
Fayette County
While we are centrally located to three major metropolitan areas (Dayton, Indianapolis and Cincinnati), it is our location on the banks of the Whitewater River which affords us excellent fishing, canoeing, rafting, as well as camping and many other outdoor activities. We boast some of the finest parks in the state and are home to the Mary Gray Bird Sanctuary as well as numerous museums, historical landmarks and local cultural events.
