The village is rich in local and national history, as it was settled by John Cleves Symmes in 1789, was the home of William Henry Harrison, the ninth president of the United States, and the birthplace of Benjamin Harrison, the 23rd president. North Bend is one of only two communities in America that can claim two presidents.
