Lewis County, Administrative county in northeastern Kentucky, United States
Lewis County extends across 495 square miles of terrain with dense forests and rolling hills along the Ohio River border with neighboring Ohio state.
The county was established in 1806 from portions of Mason County and received its name from explorer Meriwether Lewis of the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
The residents of Lewis County maintain strong agricultural traditions, with numerous family farms contributing to the local food production and economy.
