Blue Ball Gets Four New Community Signs
Lemon Township trustees installed four blue signs bearing the name Blue Ball to mark the village entrances. Helen Brown notes the addition follows resident requests and ties to the Jefferson Road debate and the Blue Ball Citizens Civic Association. Signs are at Ohio 122 turnoff, Monroe entry, Jefferson Road, and Roosevelt Avenue. Blue Ball lies in Butler and Warren counties within Lemon Township. The area traces back to early 1800s settlers with gradual growth and a new influx of light commercial businesses.
