Vandalia, Ohio
Vandalia is 10 miles north of Dayton on Dixie Drive, Old U.S. Highway 25. It is between the Great Miami River and Stillwater River. The city has been called the “Crossroads of America” due to its location on the National Road and the Dixie Highway. These correspond to U. S. Route 40 and the decommissioned U. S. Route 25, which in turn have been supplanted by two major expressways: east-west Interstate 70 and north-south Interstate 75.
On August 17,1838, Benjamin Wilhelm from Pennsylvania, settled in Vandalia on his way to Vandalia, Illinois. He stopped here and named his new town after his original destination. The small town began to attract travelers and entrepreneurs, and on February 7, 1848 the town was incorporated as “The Village of Vandalia”. On January 1, 1960 Vandalia became a Charter City of the State of Ohio.
Vandalia on the Crossroads of America is home to the Dayton International Airport.
