Henry County, Administrative division in Kentucky, United States
Henry County is an administrative division in central Kentucky characterized by scattered farms, rolling hills, and small towns. Rural roads and local highways connect these communities throughout the region.
The Kentucky General Assembly created this county on December 14, 1798, naming it after revolutionary statesman Patrick Henry. Its establishment marked an early step in Kentucky's administrative development.
Agriculture shapes daily life, with farmers markets and harvest celebrations that bring people together and keep traditional practices alive.
New Castle serves as the county seat and offers access to public services, educational institutions, and local businesses. Spring and fall are ideal times to explore, when the rural landscape is most accessible and pleasant.
Several properties from original land grants of the late 1700s still exist and tell stories of early settlers. These historical holdings offer insights into how the first inhabitants established themselves here.
