Clermont County

Clermont County is bordered by the Ohio River to the south, Hamilton County to the west (home of Cincinnati), Warren County to the north, a teeny-tiny piece of Clinton County in the northeast corner, and Brown County to the east.

There were originally two covered bridges on Williams Corner Road that spanned Stonelick Creek.   The first covered bridge had been at St. Philomena's Church.  It was replaced in 1950 with the steel bridge pictured to the right.  Approximately a quarter of a mile up the stream is the other covered bridge still in use today, the Stonelick Covered Bridge.  It often carries heavy loads due to the traffic. 

Clermont County was established by proclamation on December 9, 1800, before Ohio itself became a state.

The county was named for a French word that described the area in the late 1700s and early 1800s - "clear mountains and hills." Since all of Clermont County is in the Virginia Military District and the French aided the Americans in the final defeat of the British at the siege of Yorktown in 1781, many Virginians who helped settle the county felt it was appropriate to name it in honor of their French allies.

As a territorial county in the early 1800s, Clermont was composed of five townships. Eventually, the five townships were divided into 14. The original county seat was in Williamsburg (originally spelled Williamsburgh), where it remained until 1823. It then moved to New Richmond, along the Ohio River, for one year.
