Northern Kentucky is generally agreed to consist of Kentucky's three northernmost counties: Boone, Kenton and Campbell. Each has at least one major center of population: Florence in Boone County; Covington in Kenton County; and Newport and Fort Thomas in Campbell County. Immediately on the other side of the Ohio River is Cincinnati, Ohio. However, the entire region is populated, with these cities surrounded by many smaller towns which have little other than a city limit sign between them. The southernmost parts of the three counties are still primarily rural in nature but are rapidly being consumed by urban sprawl. Combined with part of Indiana, and Southwestern Ohio, it is a part of The Greater Cincinnati Metropolitan Statistical Area, with a population of over 2 million.
