Englewood is a city in Montgomery County, Ohio, United States.
Although Englewood was not actually founded until 1841, many early settlers began to come to the area known as Randolph Township around 1800.
Earliest settlers were the families of David Hoover, David Mast, Daniel Hoover, Robert Ewing, John and Abraham McClintock, John Rench, Martin Sheets, Jacob Smith, Daniel and Peter Fetters.
Also among the early settlers were the families of the Ellers, Fouts, Frantzs, Wertzs and the Brumbaughs.
They shipped grain and bacon down the Stillwater River on flat bottom boats to Dayton and as far south as New Orleans.
There was also a considerable amount of industry, including saw mills, gun smithing, wine distilling and pottery manufacturing.
There was also an abundance of wildlife which afforded good hunting for the settlers’ food requirements.
[citation needed] Following primarily the path traced through this area by the Stillwater River, a group of settlers founded what is now the City of Englewood on May 6, 1841.
These pioneers included Mathias Gish, Daniel Rasor and Samuel Herr.
Natural gas was made available to the area in 1934, the first water works was built in 1936 and the original sewer system was completed in 1940.
The current City Council of Englewood is made up of 6 part-time members.
Englewood is served by the Northmont City School District of Montgomery County, Ohio.
