All of these towns lie along Route 8, which parallels the Ohio River. The flavor is very rural as each town is surrounded by agricultural land.
Homes vary from small to quite large, depending on their original purpose.
Large farms have been divided and this has encouraged growth in these areas. Farmers set up roadside stands to sell their harvest. Summer months also see people traveling through these areas to reach their summer homes along the river. Restaurants and convenience stores provide for the needs of all. Until recently, Route 8 was the main east to west highway connecting these riverfront towns with other populated areas of Campbell County.
