Hamilton County
is the situated in the southwest corner of
Ohio on the Ohio
River. It was named for the first Secretary of the
Treasury, Alexander Hamilton. The

Cincinnati
Most of Hamilton county was originally part of the Symmes
Purchase, land owned and surveyed by John
Cleves Symmes,. The first settlers came down the Ohio River
in 1788. They founded the towns of Losantiville (later renamed Cincinnati), and
Cleves.
In 1790, Hamilton County was the second county formed from the
Northwest Territory. At that time it made up about one eighth of
the state. During the
1830s and 1840s Hamilton County was a main destination point for German and Irish
immigrants.
In 1863, the Civil War Confederate
cavalry assault know as Morgan's Raid passed through the northern part of the county.
