Loramie Creek is a stream in Shelby County, Ohio, United States. It is 33.4 miles long and is a tributary of the Great Miami River. The creek is named after a French-Canadian fur trader, Louis Lorimier, who established a trading post near its mouth in the late 18th century.
Loramie Creek begins in rural western Shelby County, northwest of Fort Loramie, Ohio, and flows southwest through several small communities before reaching its confluence with the Great Miami River near the town of Sidney.
The creek is significant for its association with the events that occurred during the westward expansion of the United States. The Treaty of Greenville, which ended the Northwest Indian War, was signed near the mouth of the creek. The creek runs through Lake Loramie State Park, which offers fishing, boating, camping, and wildlife viewing opportunities to visitors. It also provides habitat for a variety of wildlife, including fish and waterfowl.
Despite its historical and environmental significance, the Loramie Creek is also subject to challenges such as pollution from agricultural runoff and other sources, which can negatively affect its water quality and the ecosystems that the creek supports.
