The county was the location of much of the Northwest Indian War before and after its organization. Since 1796, other counties were created from Hamilton, reducing the county to its present size. The county was greatly expanded in 1792 to include what is today the lower peninsula of Michigan. Its area then included about one-eighth of Ohio and had about 2,000 inhabitants (not including the remaining Native Americans). Its original boundaries were those defined for the Symmes purchase contract in 1788: the Ohio River in the South, Great Miami River to the west, the Lesser Miami River to the east, and the Cuyahoga River to the North. Residents named the county in honor of Alexander Hamilton, who was the first Secretary of the Treasury of the United States and a founder of the Federalist Party. Clair, governor of the Northwest Territory, as the second county in the Northwest Territory.
Hamilton County was organized in 1790 by order of Arthur St. They established the towns of Losantiville (later Cincinnati), North Bend, and Columbia.
The first settlers rafted down the Ohio River in 1788 following the American Revolutionary War. The southern portion of Hamilton County was originally owned and surveyed by John Cleves Symmes, and the region was a part of the Symmes Purchase. Hamilton County is part of the Cincinnati-Middletown, OH-KY-IN Metropolitan Statistical Area. The county is named for the first Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton. The county seat and largest city is Cincinnati. As of the 2020 census, the population was 830,639, making it the third-most populous county in Ohio.
