Neville

History

Neville was laid out in 1808, and named for Gen. Presley Neville, the original owner of the town site. A post office called Neville has been in operation since 1816. Since the Ohio River Valley flood in March 1997, the village has lost more than half its population as the Federal Emergency Management Agency purchased about 40% of the village's flood-prone lots. In 2016, Neville survived an initiative on dissolving the village into surrounding Washington Township. Neville faces possible financial insolvency following cuts to the state Local Government Fund, upon which the village relies entirely.
