About Deerfield Township

Founded: 1803
Population: 27,000 (2002 Census)
Location: Southwestern Ohio
Education: 12 Public schools, 2 Vocational schools, 2 colleges/univesities

Formed in 1803, the year Ohio became a state, the township named itself for the large numbers of deer that stopped at local "deer licks," or salt licks. In those days and earlier, "Deerfield Township was clad in its native wilderness," wrote editors of the 19th-century History of Warren County. "Not an open space could be found which would let the mellowing light of the sun pass to the then undisturbed soil."

Even when Mr. Mettey, 61, arrived 25 years ago, the township was still rural enough to lack some essential services. So he and his wife and other people volunteered to become emergency medical technicians to help start a life squad. Later, he said, residents took college-level paramedic courses to bring that service to Deerfield, too.

In the 1990s, Mr. Mettey became a two-term township trustee, which has given him some definite opinions on his community. He worries that Deerfield will be annexed from two sides, BY Loveland and Mason. And he wonders what will happen next.

One thing is certain: Life in Deerfield - and Warren County - is not the same. It is growing so fast that it has become a white-collar haven.

New people don't necessarily know the township's past. In fact, some of them don't even know they're in a township. Who can blame them? According to their ZIP codes, Deerfield residents live in Loveland, Mason, Maineville, Sharonville and Cincinnati.
