Lockland is a village in Hamilton County, Ohio, United States.

The birth of the town, and its name, are related to the first set of lock gates on the Miami and Erie Canal north of Cincinnati.

The canal served as a major transportation route linking commerce from as far as New Orleans to New York City.

A large reservoir pond allowed boats to dock for repairs or layover.

A proliferation of railways during the latter part of the nineteenth century across the area gradually reduced the waterway's usefulness, and the canal operation was officially halted in 1929.

The Mill Creek Expressway reused some portions of the canal's right-of-way as well as the Wright-Lockland Highway.

[7] The original factory and office building still stand in the downtown area of the village.

However, after a fire in 2004 the two factory buildings, which sit on approximately 18 acres (73,000 m2), began to be demolished.

[6] On the morning of March 3rd, 2000, shortly after 7am, Lockland became the scene of a police chase when a white Cadillac sedan reached speeds over 100 mph, involving multiple law enforcement agencies.

The high-speed chase came to an end with a car crash when the suspect bailed on foot, reaching an industrial park.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 1.23 square miles (3.19 km2), all land.

[11] As of the 2010 United States Census,[12] there were 3,449 people, 1,462 households, and 797 families in the village.
