HISTORY
FAYETTE COUNTY was one of
the original three counties created from the former Kentucky County,
Virginia by the Virginia Act in 1780, along with Jefferson and
Lincoln counties, and which together separated from Virginia in 1792
to become the state of Kentucky. Fayette County then included land
which makes up 37 present-day counties and portions of 7 others. It
was reduced to its present boundaries in 1799. The county is named
for the Marquis de Lafayette, who came to America to join the
rebelling English colonies in the American Revolutionary War.
