The North Bend area was the first to be settled in Boone County. It refers to the northern bend of the Ohio River. It should not be confused with North Bend, Ohio located nearby in the Greater Cincinnati region.

The area lent its name to the local confederation of Baptist churches, the North Bend Association of Baptists.
