Jessamine County, Administrative division in central Kentucky, United States
Jessamine County encompasses 175 square miles of land where the Kentucky River forms its entire southern border, extending 42 miles through meandering paths.
The Kentucky General Assembly formed Jessamine County on December 19, 1798, when early settlers from Virginia migrated through the mountains after the American Revolutionary War.
The county holds the distinction of First Vineyard in Nicholasville, which marked the beginning of commercial wine production in the United States during the late 1700s.
The county seat of Nicholasville provides administrative services to a population of 52,991 residents, according to the 2020 census data.
In 2020, Jessamine County reversed its long-standing prohibition on alcohol sales, allowing package sales throughout the territory for the first time since the 1930s.
