'''Wetherington''' is a [[census-designated place]] (CDP) in [[West Chester Township, Butler County, Ohio|West Chester Township]], [[Butler County, Ohio|Butler County]], [[Ohio]], United States. The population was 1,381 at the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]].

==Geography==
Wetherington is located in northeastern West Chester Township.<ref name="GR1">{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/geographies/reference-files/time-series/geo/gazetteer-files.html|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]|access-date=April 23, 2011|date=February 12, 2011|title=US Gazetteer files: 2010, 2000, and 1990}}</ref> It surrounds Wetherington Golf and Country Club, and is bordered on its east side by [[Interstate 75]], with access from Exit 22 (Tylersville Road). It is {{convert|22|mi}} north of downtown [[Cincinnati]].

Wetherington can be accessed from gated entrances at Cincinnati-Dayton and Tylersville Road, or through entrances at Liberty Way. The gates at the entrances were erected in 2002, making Wetherington the largest gated community in south-western Ohio at the time. This privatization was criticized for restricting public access to publicly funded roads, creating a physical boundary between lower and upper class citizens, and for symbolically being contrary to the free and democratic ideals of American society.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Clark|first1=Michael|title=Neighbors to vote on erecting gates|url=http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2001/02/24/loc_neighbors_to_vote_on.html|access-date=April 20, 2015|work=The Cincinnati Enquirer|date=February 24, 2001}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last1=Schaefer|first1=Walt|title=Neighborhood gate cuts off traffic|url=http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2001/12/21/loc_neighborhood_gate.html|access-date=April 20, 2015|work=The Cincinnati Enquirer|date=December 21, 2001|quote=Some neighbors and local workers grumble that the upper crust is bent on keeping out the common folk. Some land use and development experts decry the proliferation of gated communities nationally as divisive and even anti-democratic.}}</ref> The ostensible reason for the gate's construction was to eliminate heavy traffic from commuters using the neighborhood's roads as a shortcut between Cincinnati-Dayton and Tylersville Road.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Edwards|first1=Jennifer|title=Subdivision gates close on outsiders|url=http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2002/03/01/loc_subdivision_gates.html|access-date=April 20, 2015|work=The Cincinnati Enquirer|date=March 1, 2002|quote=Neighbors in these homes ... say they are tired of the endless stream of cars using their subdivision as a shortcut between Tylersville and Cincinnati-Dayton roads.}}</ref>
