The two red stars
must represent two North Bend-born politicians, who are portrayed on the flag:
- left, Thomas Andrews Hendricks (1819-1885), who served as the 21st Vice
President of the United States (Democrat; March-November 1885);
- right,
Benjamin Harrison (1833-1901), who served as the 23rd President of the United
States (Republican; 1889-1893).
The blue curve represents river Ohio, here
the border between Ohio and Kentucky. North Bend (858 inhabitants in 2012) is
located on the northernmost side of the curve.
North Bend is the site of
the William Henry Harrison Tomb State Memorial. William Henry Harrison
(1773-1841; a grandfather of Benjamin Harrison) served as the 9th President of
the United States (Whig) from 4 March to 4 April 1841. Harrison was the first
president to die in office and this is still the shortest tenure.
