Each of Ohio's eighty-eight counties has a courthouse. Many of them were built over a century ago and many are also listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Some are modern, some are renovated and some stand today as originally constructed over a century ago. Each courthouse is expected to meet the specific needs of its county. Despite their diversity, all of Ohio's county courthouses fulfill a central role in American society: as the seat of justice.

The Highland County Courthouse was built in 1834 and is the oldest county courthouse in continuous use as a courthouse in the state of Ohio. The county seat of Hillsboro is located in the southeast portion of the state. The county was created in 1805.
