Carlisle ([4]) is a city in northwestern Warren and southern Montgomery counties in the southwestern part of the U.S. state of Ohio. The city is in Franklin Township, Warren County, Ohio and German Township, Montgomery County, Ohio.
The Warren County portion of Carlisle is part of the Cincinnati - Middletown, OH-KY-IN Metropolitan Statistical Area, while the Montgomery County portion is part of the Dayton, OH Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Carlisle is known for an area landmark: a "double UFO" house off Chamberlain Road, which resembles two silver-colored flying saucers connected by a metal duct. This is actually two Futuro houses combined into one residence.[5] [6]
Carlisle had its start in 1850 when the railroad was extended to that point and a train station was built.[7] The village was named for "railroad man" George B. Carlisle, who in the mid-19th century "bought and platted a large section of the community".[8] [9] A post office was established at Carlisle in 1852, and remained in operation until 1961.[10]
