Blue Ball is a community in Butler and Warren counties, in the U.S. state of Ohio. [1] The community was established in 1820 at the intersection of the Dixie Highway (later U.S. Route 25). Blue Ball was annexed by nearby Middletown in 1994. [2]
Blue Ball was so named because that image appeared on its tavern's signboard for the benefit of the illiterate. [3]
