In honor of William Henry Harrison's presidential campaign slogan, “Tippecanoe and Tyler, too!” John Clark called his city-to-be “Tippecanoe”. A few years later, the citizens unofficially added City, and it was called this until 1938, when the legal name was shortened to Tipp City. Tipp City's small-town historic charm 25 minutes due north of Dayton’s metropolitan attractions make it an ideal place to visit – or to put down roots. Served by the Tipp City Exempted School District.
