Xenia, County seat in Greene County, Ohio, United States.
Xenia stands at the intersection of three major highways, creating a strategic transportation hub within southwestern Ohio at an elevation of 284 meters.
The founders established Xenia in 1803 when John Paul purchased 2,000 acres of land, making it one of the first settlements in Greene County.
The Greek-derived name reflects the local commitment to hospitality, as proposed during an early town meeting by Reverend Robert Armstrong in the 1800s.
The city maintains excellence in municipal services through internationally accredited police departments and certified fire divisions, resulting in favorable insurance ratings.
On April 3, 1974, an F5 tornado destroyed half of the city's buildings, leading to a complete reconstruction that shaped the modern urban landscape.
