Western Hamilton County Voyage Tips and guide

You can check the original Wikivoyage article Here

    The western half of Hamilton County is less populated than the eastern half, and remains divided into the original townships rather than having formed many cities. The western fringes of suburban Cincinnati give way to parkland and then farmland along the Great Miami River.

    Understand

    [edit]

    Most of this part of the county is divided into several townships: Springfield, Colerain, Green, Delhi, Miami, Whitewater, Crosby, and Harrison.

    Some independent cities or villages in western Hamilton County include:

    • Cheviot. Tiny city close to Cincinnati, popular destination for bar-goers.
    • Cleves. Small village close to Cincinnati. Home of Harrison's Tomb historical site and also host to the annual Gravelrama event.
    • Harrison, a city mostly surrounded by the township of the same name.
