Lockington rewards residents with quiet streets, canal-era history, and quick access to everyday conveniences. Tucked along Loramie Creek just minutes from Piqua and a short drive to Sidney, the village is best known for the Lockington Locks Historic District, a striking flight of Miami and Erie Canal locks celebrated by the Ohio History Connection. Nearby, the Lockington Dam—part of the Miami Conservancy District’s regional flood protection—adds to the area’s distinctive landscape and provides access to miles of water-based recreation highlighted by the Great Miami Riverway.
Outdoor lovers appreciate trail segments, birding spots, and seasonal programming offered through the Miami County Park District, while commuters enjoy fast connections to employers, shopping, and dining in both Miami County and Shelby County. Daily services, permits, and civic resources are supported by the county at the Shelby County government.
Families will find that schools serving the area include the Hardin-Houston Local School District, known for strong academics and community involvement. High schoolers with technical interests can explore workforce pathways at the nearby Upper Valley Career Center, offering in-demand programs that partner with regional employers.
Housing spans tidy ranches, century homes with canal-town character, and acreage properties on the village’s edge. Weekend plans can be as simple as a walk among the historic locks, a paddle on the river, or festivals and concerts just down the road in Piqua and Sidney.
