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,
392 houses were damaged too bad to be repaired, and
51
houses simply
lifted off their foundations and floated down
the river, never
to be seen, in Dayton, again.
