The city is located just a few miles away from Springfield and roughly an hour away from both Cincinnati and Columbus. The State of Ohio is popularly referred to as the birthplace of aviation, all thanks to Dayton. Dayton is the birthplace of a set of brothers who made a significant contribution to human history. Edgar and Wilbur Wright made history when they launched the first plane into a sustained flight in 1903.
