Covington

Town in Kenton County, north-central Kentucky, USA, on the Ohio River opposite Cincinnati; population (2000) 43,400. It has machinery, tobacco and meatpacking plants, breweries, distilleries, and foundries, and forms a part of the Cincinnati metropolitan area.

It is linked to Cincinnati by the John A Roebling Suspension Bridge (1866), designed by the US engineer John A Roebling (1806–1869). Covington was a late-18th-century ferry crossing that became a trading centre with the opening of the Covington–Georgetown Turnpike (1819) and an 1830s rise in river and road traffic.
