The Steele's Hill–Grafton Hill Historic District, or simply known locally as Grafton Hill, is a small 18-block sector of Dayton, Ohio, United States that was developed in the late 19th century.
Although sometimes considered part of Dayton View, Grafton Hill has its own separate and important existence and history. It was developed at a time when Dayton's population was moving from the center of the city outward, north of the Miami River. Grafton Hill was enlarged and enriched in 1875 when John Stoddard, a wealthy and prominent farm implement manufacturer, developed the exclusive Belmonte Park residential area. The construction of the Dayton Art Institute and the Dayton Masonic Temple added to the affluent aura of the community. Today, Grafton Hill is known for the depth of its economic and cultural diversity. The fashionable nature of Grafton Hill remains intact and continues to be celebrated.
