DEARBORN
county was named in honor of General
Henry Dearborn, at that time secretary of war. The bottom lands on the
Ohio, Miami and Whitewater rivers, about fifteen thousand acres in all,
and the west and northwest portions of the county, are level and
slightly undulating; the other portion of the surface is broken and
hilly. The land in the vicinity of the rivers and creeks, both in the
bottoms and on the hills, is rich and fertile, being unsurpassed in
value for agricultural purposes in the State. The interior is well
adapted to hay, wheat, etc.
Lawrenceburgh, the county
seat, is located on the Ohio river,
and on the Ohio & Mississippi and Cincinnati, Indianapolis &
Chicago railroads. It is quite an important railroad station, and a
growing commercial centre. Its educational facilities are good.
Dearborn county has made considerable progress in agriculture and
commerce.
