About the Northern Kentucky Area 

Northern Kentucky is the three northernmost counties in Kentucky near Cincinnati, Ohio. Gallatin, Grant, Pendleton, and Bracken counties are officially part of the Cincinnati Metropolitan Area, and are sometimes included in definitions of "Northern Kentucky". Historically, Trimble and Mason counties have also been included in "Northern Kentucky". 

The three northernmost counties of Kentucky each has at least one major center of population. Florence in Boone County; Covington, Erlanger, and Independence in Kenton County; and Newport, Fort Thomas, and Alexandria in Campbell County. Immediately on the other side of the Ohio River is Cincinnati, Ohio. However, the entire core region is densely populated, with these cities surrounded by many smaller towns which have little other than a city limit sign between them. The periphery of Boone, Kenton, and Campbell Counties, namely the extreme western part of Boone County, and southernmost parts of all three of the core counties, are still primarily rural in nature, but a rapidly growing population means there is a lot of housing development. The four outer counties are still primarily rural, although suburban development is starting to reach them. Combined with part of Indiana, and Southwestern Ohio, all seven counties are a part of the Greater Cincinnati area, which has a population of over two million. 

Beginning in the 1970s, many factors combined to create major growth. The proximity to Cincinnati, the completion of I-75, the nexus of rail service and river traffic, creation of several industrial parks, and the growth of Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (located near Hebron in northeastern Boone County near the Kenton County line) drew many industries into the area. Its geographically central location (within 800 miles of 80% of the US population) makes it ideal for distribution centers, and those shipping all over the country.
