Location: Warren County

South Lebanon is a village located in Union and Hamilton Townships in central Warren County in the southwestern part of the U.S. state of Ohio. As of the 2000 census, the village population was 2,538, down from 2,696 in 1990. The village was originally called Deerfield because it was the chief settlement of Deerfield Township, Hamilton County, Ohio, but renamed because of its proximity to the county seat of Lebanon.

The Village of South Lebanon is now 211 years old. It was settled in 1795, which makes our village the oldest in Warren County. South Lebanon missed being the county seat by one vote. The House Speaker of the State of Ohio voted to break the tie between South Lebanon and Lebanon. The House Speaker voted for Lebanon and the rest is history.

South Lebanon was also home to fundamentalist Christian minister and preacher Rev. Kash Amburgy who developed a following on local radio and television stations. Most notably in the 1960s and 70s he was known the owner of Kash's Big Bargain Barn.

His discount store business closed in the early 1980s but continued his ministry of sponsoring and hosting pilgrimage trips to the Holy Land until his death in 2002.

Most of the village is in the Kings Local School District, but parts are in the Little Miami Local and Lebanon City School Districts. It is entirely in the South Lebanon telephone exchange.
