Dayton Scenes from the 1937 Flood
In 1937, 75% of Dayton felt the floodwaters; over 7,000
people (out of a population of 10,0000) were forced out of their homes, and 51
houses simply
lifted off their foundations and floated down the river, never
to be seen, in Dayton, again.
The following are all from the 1937 Flood
