Spencer Township, Hamilton County, Ohio

[1] Statewide, other townships named Spencer are located in Allen, Guernsey, Lucas, and Medina counties.

It included Columbia, the first white settlement in the historical Miami Valley, in the present-day Columbia-Tusculum neighborhood of Cincinnati.

[3][4] Spencer Township Hall was built in 1860 to serve as the seat of government as well as the local lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.

[8] In August 1909, Cincinnati annexed the southern part of Spencer Township, including Turkey Bottom, on the way to California, which desired the city's police and fire protection after Coney Island opened there.

[13][14] This area today is wholly located within the Cincinnati city limits, corresponding to parts of Evanston, Hyde Park, Mount Lookout, Columbia-Tusculum, Linwood, and the East End.
