About Hillsboro

Hillsboro is a welcoming small town of about 6,500 residents nestled in the rolling countryside of southwest Ohio. Serving as the seat of Highland County, the community centers around a historic courthouse square filled with local shops, family-owned diners, and a friendly, neighborly atmosphere. The town takes pride in its heritage as an early bell-making hub, which is celebrated every summer during the popular Festival of the Bells, bringing people together for live music, parades, and local food.

Daily life moves at a comfortable pace with all the essentials right in town. Families are served by Hillsboro City Schools and higher education programs at Southern State Community College, alongside local medical practices and convenient shopping. Outdoor lovers will appreciate being just minutes away from Rocky Fork Lake and Paint Creek State Park for boating, fishing, and hiking. When you need a major airport, specialized healthcare, or big-city entertainment, both Cincinnati and Columbus are an easy drive away.
