Ohio County, County administrative division in southeastern Indiana, United States.
Ohio County spans 87 square miles along the Ohio River, forming part of the Cincinnati metropolitan area with Rising Sun as its county seat.
The county emerged from Dearborn County in 1844 following legislative action to resolve a dispute between Rising Sun and Lawrenceburg over county seat status.
The county features four distinct townships - Cass, Pike, Randolph, and Union - each maintaining its own local services and community traditions.
The Rising Sun/Ohio County Convention and Visitors Bureau provides information about local attractions, accommodations, and river-based recreational activities.
The Ohio County courthouse, built in 1845 with Greek Revival architecture and Doric pillars, stands as Indiana's oldest continuously operating judicial building.
