South Lebanon is a village in the southwestern part of Ohio, located in Union and Hamilton Townships, inside central Warren County. Before it became known as South Lebanon, the village was called Deerfield, since it was the main settlement inside Deerfield Township. The name was eventually changed to South Lebanon based on its close proximity to the county seat of Lebanon. Established back in 1795, the village of South Lebanon started out as many communities in that area during that time started out—as a farming town. The village’s location along the Little Miami River was a major stop along a trail that ran between Columbia to Deerfield (now South Lebanon) which is now Columbia Road. Many early settlers from all over the country would stop in South Lebanon to rest their road-weary bodies and gather their strength back up for the long journey ahead.
The village was once home to a religious fundamentalist by the name of Reverend Kash Amburgy, who developed a devoted following on local radio and television stations during the 1960s and 1970s. In addition to his role as a televangelist, Amburgy also owned a popular bargain store—Kash’s Big Bargain Barn. All of his TV advertisements would end with the same tagline: “Follow the signs, follow the arrows, or follow the cars: to Kash’s Big Bargain Barn in South Lebanon Ohio, where you save cash with Kash!” Even after his store closed its doors in the 1980s, Amburgy continued with his ministry up until his death in 2002.
