Loveland Named After Storekeeper and Early Military Land Grant
The article traces Loveland Ohio from its 18th century land disputes under Virginia and the Northwest Ordinance to its 19th century development. It notes John Peters as a Revolutionary War officer who received a 500 acre Virginia warrant later linked to the area, and details how Loveland was laid out and named after James Loveland, the village’s first storekeeper and postmaster.
