Amelia is an unincorporated community and former village in Pierce and Batavia townships in Clermont County, Ohio, United States. The population was 4,801 at the 2010 census. Amelia incorporated in 1900. In November 2019, residents voted to call off the village beyond the imposition of a local income tax. Amelia was by far-off the most populous village in divulge history to be dissolved and the first to be partitioned amongst two townships.

Amelia was not officially platted. The area was originally called Milltown, later edited to Milton. However, when a name office was traditional in 1836, there was already a Milton Post Office in the state. Various accounts let pass that the name office was named Amelia after Amelia Bowdoin, a without difficulty known and popular tollkeeper on the Ohio Turnpike (present-day State Route 125). Her home is now known as the Amelia Bowdoin House and stands at 94 West Main Street, across the street from its native location. However, there is no census book of an Amelia Bowdoin; Amelia may have been a corruption of the state of Armilla Bodin, the wife of a tollkeeper. Amelia was incorporated as a village on December 20, 1900.

Amelia’s population rose from 4,801 in the 2010 census to an estimated 5,009 in 2018. Under come clean law, the village would have been required to become a city after it posted a population higher than 5,000 in the 2020 census. In preparation for becoming a city, it adopted a charter in November 2017, though the bend in status was not reflected in the Ohio Secretary of State’s roster of municipalities. Among new changes, becoming a city would have protected Amelia from dissolution.

In 2008, Amelia Village Council proposed a one-percent pension tax to lid maintenance of Ohio State Route 125 within the village. In nod to the proposal, Amelia Residents for Fiscal Responsibility gathered a petition to cancel the village into Pierce and Batavia townships. The Clermont County Board of Elections initially rejected the petition after invalidating many of the signatures, but the help succeeded in supplement the initiative to a May 5, 2009, special election. Amelia survived the election by a margin of 865 to 401.
