Dearborn County is a part of the Greater Cincinnati metro area and is one of five SIRPC regional counties located along the Ohio River. Dearborn County’s two biggest cities, Lawrenceburg and Aurora served as major connection points for the port and rail industries for the area.

Many industries were built throughout the nineteenth century, the most notable being distilleries and furniture. Though its two cities get prominent attention, Dearborn’s smaller towns have much to offer and boast about as well. The micropolitan areas and small towns have seen revitalization in recent years thanks to Mainstreet programs and other economic development initiatives, making this county ripe for all types of investments.
