Lockland provided an abundance of water power with its 15-foot (4.6 m) difference in water levels, allowing for a water-powered gristmill. A large reservoir pond allowed boats to dock for repairs or layover. A proliferation of railways during the latter part of the nineteenth century across the area gradually reduced the waterway's usefulness, and the canal operation was officially halted in 1929.
Lockland was home to the Stearns and Foster Mattress company, which was founded in Cincinnati in 1846[6] and moved to Lockland in 1880.[7] The original factory and office building still stand in the downtown area of the village. However, after a fire in 2004 the two factory buildings, which sit on approximately 18 acres (73,000 m2), began to be demolished.[8] By 2015 demolition was complete, including removal of the smokestack on March 26.[6]
