What are the largest cities, towns and townships in Warren County?

The Enquirer’s Just Askin’ series aims to answer the questions no one seems to have the answers to, not even Google.

Today we know Warren County as the home of Kings Island, the Cincinnati Open professional tennis tournament, and the Ohio Renaissance Festival.

The county was established in 1803 when Ohio first became a state. It is named after a major general during the American Revolution. However, the history of the province goes back even further.

Before colonization, Fort Ancient, a 2,000-year-old earthworks and nature reserve, was built by indigenous people for ceremonial purposes. It is one of Warren County’s top attractions and holds the title of Ohio’s oldest state park.

Warren County now has a population of over 235,300, making it the 10th largest of Ohio’s 88 counties. Here is an overview of the city, town and municipal populations based on the 2020 census results.
