Campbell County is one of the three core Northern Kentucky counties (along with Kenton and Boone) that form the Kentucky side of the greater Cincinnati metropolitan area. Newport, the county's largest city, has undergone significant redevelopment in recent decades, transforming from a historically rough river town into an entertainment destination anchored by Newport on the Levee, the Newport Aquarium, and a growing number of restaurants and breweries. Alexandria, the county seat, is a more suburban community in the southern part of the county.

About Campbell County

Campbell County spans from the urban Ohio River communities of Newport, Bellevue, and Dayton in the north to the suburban and semi-rural areas around Alexandria, Cold Spring, and Highland Heights in the south. Northern Kentucky University (NKU), the region's primary four-year public university with approximately 16,000 students, is located in Highland Heights within Campbell County. The county's economy is tied closely to the broader Cincinnati region, with many residents commuting across the river for employment. Fort Thomas, a city within the county, was historically home to a U.S. Army installation and retains a distinctive residential character.
