Clermont County Commissioners
As a territorial county in the early 1800s, Clermont was composed of five townships. Eventually, the five townships were divided into 14. The original county seat was in Williamsburg (originally spelled Williamsburgh), where it remained until 1823. It then moved to New Richmond, along the Ohio River, for one year.
Clermont's first community was Williamsburg, the original county seat, located on the eastern edge of the county. Williamsburg, then known as Lytlestown, was platted in 1796. Early settlements also included Denhamstown, incorporated as Bethel in 1851. Jesse Grant, father of Ulysses S. Grant, was Bethel's first mayor.
The county has grown from 15,820 people in 1820, 36,713 in 1880, and 42,182 in 1950 to about 177,000 in 1998.
