Description
-
East Bend is a riverfront region of Boone County named for the Ohio River's sharp turn eastward. On the western edge of East Bend, there was once a trading post run by a man named DeHart or D'Hart. Around the bend at a distance of about ten miles, were the natural springs at Big Bone. East Bend was known to have rich bottom land and offered a good view for defense against Indian attack.
