HISTORY
JEFFERSON
COUNTY was organized in 1780 and one of the first three
counties formed out of the original Kentucky County, which was still
part of Virginia at the time (the other two being Fayette and
Lincoln). The county is named for Thomas Jefferson, who was governor
of Virginia at the time.
The last major American Indian raid in present-day Jefferson County
was the Chenoweth Massacre on July 17, 1789.
