Melbourne, KY

united states

Melbourne is a small Ohio River town in northern Kentucky, just minutes from downtown Cincinnati via I-471 and US Route 27. Part of Campbell County with about 600 residents, it serves as a quiet riverside community for Cincinnati commuters. The town sits where the river bends between Ohio and Indiana, creating a strategic river crossing location. Melbourne's historic ferry to Ohio, operating since the 1800s, remains one of the region's last working river ferries.
