The municipality then changed its name to add "Village" into the official name; legally it is "The City of The Village of Indian Hill". The Village of Indian Hill is served by the Indian Hill Exempted Village School District (public school district) and Cincinnati Country Day (private school district). It has previously been named the "Best Place to Raise a Family" by the magazine Robb Report.[1]
