Just Askin’: What are the largest cities, villages and townships in Warren County?

The Enquirer’s Just Askin’ series aims to answer the questions that no one seems to have an answer for, not even Google.

Today, we know Warren County as the home of Kings Island, the Cincinnati Open professional tennis tournament and the Ohio Renaissance Festival.

The county was established in 1803 when Ohio was first made a state. It’s named for a major general during the American Revolution. The county’s history dates back even further, though.

Pre-colonization, Fort Ancient, a 2,000-year-old earthworks site and nature preserve, was built by Indigenous people for ceremonial purposes. It is one of Warren County’s top attractions and holds the title as Ohio’s oldest state park.

Warren County is now home to more than 235,300 people, making it the 10th-largest of Ohio’s 88 counties. Here’s a breakdown of its city, village and township populations based on 2020 census results.

Warren County cities

There are nine cities in Warren County. A small portion of Middletown is in Warren County, but most of the city’s 50,987 residents live in Butler County. The same goes for Monroe, whose total population is 15,412.

A community must have at least 5,000 people to incorporate as a city in Ohio. Cities operate under a municipal-style government with an elected city council.

1. Mason, 34,792 people.

2. Lebanon, 20,841 people.

3. Loveland, 13,311 people.

4. Springboro, 19,062 people.

5. Franklin, 11,690 people.

6. South Lebanon, 6,384 people.

7. Carlisle, 5,504 people.

Warren County villages.

Warren County has seven villages. Like cities, villages operate under a municipal government with an elected council, but have less than 5,000 residents.

1. Waynesville, 2,669 people.

2. Morrow, 2,049 people.

3. Maineville, 1,405.

4. Harveysburg, 554 people.

At a bare minimum, townships must provide maintenance and repair to township roads and sewers. Townships have three elected officials, known as a board of trustees.

1. Deerfield Township, 40,525 people.

2. Clearcreek Township, 36,288 people.
