About New Richmond, Ohio

New Richmond is a village of 2,727 people in Clermont County, on the Ohio River about twenty miles east and south of Cincinnati. Its ground was surveyed on June 3, 1778, and in 1804 Jacob Light bought David Jackson's 333-acre survey there. Light laid out the village in September 1814, and his nephew reportedly suggested naming it for his own hometown, Richmond, Virginia.

Thomas Ashburn had bought Robert Beal's 1,000-acre survey next door in 1813, and in February 1816 he platted a village of his own called Susanna, named for his second wife. Its long promenade along the river survives today as Captain Ernest Wagner Park. The two villages grew side by side until the Ohio General Assembly joined them as the Village of New Richmond on January 11, 1828. By 1833 the town had ten stores, two churches, 120 houses, a gristmill, a sawmill and two carding machines.

  • County seat for a yearIn 1817 the state carved Brown County out of the eastern half of Clermont, which left the courthouse at Williamsburgh on the county's far edge. Over Williamsburgh's protests, lawmakers made New Richmond the county seat in 1823. No courthouse ever went up, and only a year later the seat moved to Batavia, closer to the middle of the county.
  • An abolitionist newspaperNew Richmond's people turned against slavery early. The abolitionist James G. Birney, later the Liberty Party's nominee for president twice, started printing his paper The Philanthropist in the village before taking it to Cincinnati in 1836.
  • Steamboats built hereThe riverbank was a busy place for building steamboats. Boats launched at New Richmond included the Allegheny, the Zephyr, the William Tell, the Clermont, and the Lancasters No. 1 through No. 4.
  • The Great Flood of 1937Most of the village sits on the Ohio's floodplain, and early floods are recorded in 1898, 1907 and 1913. The 1937 flood was the worst disaster in its history, destroying 250 of its 415 homes. In March 1997 the river pushed 6 feet of water up Center Street, flooding houses where roughly two-thirds of the village's 2,500 people lived. Residents got around by boat, and Governor George Voinovich visited the Red Cross shelter at New Richmond High School.
