The city originally known as "Carrollton" was settled in 1830 with a population below the 200 mark. The "West" nomenclature came to help differentiate it from the other city of Carrollton, OH and assist with mail related issues - or so the legend goes. The city is no stranger to transportation. There was a point where the area boasted five ways for citizens to transport themselves: train, canal, riverboats, trolleys and eventually, cars.
West Carrollton is considered one of Dayton's most affordable cities. The typical home here is a 3 bedroom 2 full bath plan measuring in at about 1477 square feet of living area.
