About this city
Also known as: Ohio's Amusement Capital
Mason is an dynamic, exceptionally fast-growing high-tech and entertainment-rich city located in Warren County, beautifully positioned in the affluent northern suburbs of the Cincinnati metropolitan area. Originally settled in 1803 by pioneer William Mason who purchased the land at an early military auction, the community long long expanded as a quiet farming village centered on grain fields. In the late 20th century, Mason's destiny was fundamentally revolutionized with the development of Kings Island, a highly acclaimed, massive 364-acre open-air amusement park resort featuring world-record-breaking wooden and steel roller coasters. Today, Mason thrives as an upscale commercial powerhouse, balancing its immense entertainment dominance with a booming technical tech sector, specialized global corporate headquarters, and elite international tennis tournaments.
