History
Troy was platted around 1807. A post office in Troy has been in operation since 1824.
Troy was one of the cities affected by severe flooding in the Great Flood of 1913.
In 1970, the Troy Historical Society published Troy: The Nineteenth Century, a book on Troy’s history by Thomas Bemis Wheeler. The book discusses the city’s founding city and the Ohio canal era of the 1800s.
Historic sites
The city was the location of the Hobart Welded Steel House Company, which might have become influential in U.S. housing if prefabricated houses had become popular after World War II. The firm’s homes resemble the better-known Lustron houses of the Columbus, Ohio-based Lustron Corporation (which also failed). Hobart manufactured and built 22 homes, all in Troy, 16 of which survive and are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
Other NRHP-listed properties in Troy include four unrelated homes, a tavern, the Miami County Courthouse and Power Station, the 1859 First Presbyterian Church, and the Troy Public Square.
