The landscape around Kenton is broad, glacially shaped farmland in north-central Ohio, which has shaped both the urban form and local economy. The city is the seat of Hardin County and developed as a service centre for the agricultural communities around it. The Scioto River runs through Kenton, adding a local waterway to a setting otherwise defined by open fields and a compact downtown. Kenton is named for frontier figure Simon Kenton, and the Hardin County Courthouse remains a prominent civic landmark.
