Welcome to Dayton, KY - City of Progress and Dreams

Dayton, Kentucky, the “city of progress and dreams,” was the result of a merger between the communities of Brooklyn and Jamestown that took place in 1867. It was named Dayton after the Ohio city (established in 1803). A founding father, James Berry, was the grandson of James Taylor, who founded Newport. One of Dayton’s assets is its close proximity to downtown Cincinnati, which makes for easy access to all the shopping, sports and cultural amenities there. Housing is affordable and all types are available. There are plans to develop a 100-acre community, The Shores of Dayton, along the river that will feature condos and single family homes, clubhouse with tennis courts and public marina. Favorite community events include Mary Ingles Day, Memorial Day and Light Up Dayton. A farmers’ market is open on Saturdays at the Public Parking Lot on Sixth Avenue. There are five parks, a two-mile walking path overlooking the Ohio River and summer recreation programs for youth. It is home to Watertown Yacht Club, an attractive, colorful marina complex. A community center is planned to be built in the heart of downtown Dayton, KY.
