Englewood, Ohio is a city in Montgomery County, Ohio, in the United States. Located near Dayton, Ohio, the city is part of the Ohio metropolitan area (Dayton), positioned along regional corridors connecting to Columbus, Ohio, Cincinnati, Ohio, and the Toledo metropolitan area. It developed through 19th-century settlement patterns tied to Canal era and later Rail transport in the United States routes, and has evolved with postwar suburbanization linked to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and regional manufacturing firms.
Settlement in the area began during westward migration associated with the Northwest Territory and the Ohio Company of Associates, with land surveys influenced by the Land Ordinance of 1785. Early communities were shaped by proximity to the Miami and Erie Canal corridor and the expansion of National Road (U.S. Route 40), while local agriculture connected to markets in Dayton, Ohio and Cincinnati, Ohio. Industrial and commercial growth accelerated with the arrival of Pennsylvania Railroad lines and later Interstate 70 and Interstate 75 construction, paralleling national trends of Second Industrial Revolution infrastructure investment and the Post–World War II economic expansion. Civic institutions formed alongside religious congregations such as First Baptist Church (Dayton), and educational ties developed with regional schools and colleges like Wright State University and University of Dayton.
