Warren County — County Seat: Lebanon

2026 Population Estimate: 259,323  |  Official Website: https://www.warrencountyohio.gov/

Warren County is one of Ohio's fastest-growing counties, situated between Cincinnati and Dayton in the booming southwestern Ohio I-71 corridor, with Lebanon as its charming county seat. The county has experienced extraordinary population growth driven by suburban expansion from Cincinnati — particularly in communities like Mason, Deerfield Township, and Monroe — and has become one of the most economically dynamic regions in Ohio. Kings Island — one of the largest amusement parks in the United States — is located in Mason, drawing over 3 million visitors annually and serving as a major regional economic anchor. Major employers include Cincinnati Children's Hospital (Mason campus), Mason City Schools (one of Ohio's top-rated districts), Mercy Health - Kings Mills Hospital, and an enormous array of corporate offices, distribution centers, and retail operations along I-71. The Golden Lamb Inn in Lebanon — Ohio's oldest continuously operating hotel (1803) — is a state landmark.
