Kentucky County (then alternately spelled Kentucke County) was formed by the Commonwealth of Virginia from the western portion (beyond the Cumberland Mountains) of Fincastle County effective December 31, 1776. The name of the county was taken from a Native American place name that came to be associated with a river in east central Kentucky, and gave the Kentucky River its name. During the three and one-half years of Kentucky County's existence, its seat of government was Harrodstown (then also known as Oldtown, later renamed Harrodsburg).

  • Kentucky County oder damals alternative Kentucke County war ein County des Commonwealth of Virginia. Der County wurde am 31. Dezember 1776 aus dem westlichen Teil des Fincastle Country, der jenseits der Cumberland Mountains liegt, gebildet. Der Name wurde vom Kentucky River übernommen, dessen Name von einer Ortsbezeichnung der amerikanischen Ureinwohner abstammt. Während der dreieinhalb Jahre des Bestehens von Kentucky County war sein Regierungssitz Harrodstown (damals auch bekannt als Oldtown, später umbenannt in Harrodsburg). Von 1770 auf 1780 wuchs die Bevölkerung im Gebiet von 15.700 auf 45.000 Einwohner. Die entspricht in etwa einer Verdreifachung. (de)

Juni 1780 in die Counties Fayette, Jefferson und Lincoln geteilt. Gemeinsam wurde sie vom Virginia House of Delegates aber weiterhin als Distrikt of Kentucky bezeichnet. Die Counties stellten einige Petitionen an die Legislative von Virginia und den Kontinentalkongress, um ein eigenständiger Bundesstaat zu werden. 1792 wurde das Commonwealth of Kentucky als 15. Staat in die Vereinigten Staaten aufgenommen. (de)

Cuatro años más tarde el condado de Kentucky fue dividido en los condados de Fayette, Jefferson y Lincoln en Kentucky. El condado de Kentucky fue abolido el 30 de junio de 1780, cuando se dividió en los condados de Fayette, Jefferson y Lincoln[2]. Posteriormente, estos condados y los que se separaron de ellos más tarde en esa década fueron designados colectivamente como el Distrito de Kentucky por la Cámara de Delegados de Virginia. Los condados del distrito solicitaron con frecuencia a la legislatura de Virginia y al Congreso Continental la condición de estado.

Kentucky County was abolished on June 30, 1780, when it was divided into Fayette, Jefferson, and Lincoln counties. Afterward, these counties and those set off from them later in that decade were designated collectively as the District of Kentucky by the Virginia House of Delegates. The counties of the district frequently petitioned both the Virginia legislature and the Continental Congress seeking statehood. Finally successful, the Commonwealth of Kentucky was admitted to the United States as the 15th state in 1792. (en)
