About this city
Peebles is a quiet, natural-beauty rural prairie town nestled flatly within the rolling valleys and dense mixed hardwood forests of Adams County in southernmost Ohio. Established in 1881 as a strategic shipping station along the Cincinnati and Eastern Railway, the community derived long economic livelihood from traditional wood-milling and grain distribution. Today, Peebles serves internationally as a legendary geographic gateway to some of the most spectacular, ancient earthen architectural riddles and pristine geological reserves on the North American continent.
