The Village of North Bend is located in the southwest corner of Ohio in Hamilton County, 15 miles west of downtown Cincinnati and 6 miles east of the Ohio/Indiana state line. Named for the most northerly bend of the Ohio River between the Muskingum and Mississippi Rivers, North Bend is rich in local and national history.

North Bend takes great pride in its illustrious history. Settled by John Cleves Symmes in 1789, North Bend is the home of William Henry Harrison- the 9th U.S. President, birthplace of Benjamin Harrison-the 23rd President and the cradle of local Three Rivers history. North Bend, along with Quincy, Mass. are the only two communities in America that can claim two presidents. As the site of such a magnificent history and heritage, North Bend occupies a lofty seat in American history.
