Madison, established in 1809, is the county seat of one of the most beautiful areas in the Midwest. Located across the Ohio river from Kentucky in the triangle formed by Cincinnati (Ohio), Louisville (Kentucky), and Indianapolis (Indiana), Jefferson County offers attractive opportunities for economic development, culture, and recreation.

We invite visitors, business and industry to come share our good fortune - beautiful Jefferson County on the Ohio river, 19th century Madison, and Hanover College founded in 1827 - where the past enfolds you and makes you one of us today!

A temperate climate, rolling rural countryside, strong work ethic, and access to good schools and health care, create a locale where truly "Business is a Pleasure".

Our many historic sites and homes, festivals, regatta, garden tours, or energetic recreation charm our visitors with experiences they will never forget - and they return often.
