Woodford County, County administration center in Versailles, Kentucky, United States
Woodford County spans across 497 square kilometers of rolling hills and fertile land in north-central Kentucky between Lexington and Frankfort.
The county was established on November 2, 1788, as one of Kentucky's first nine counties and named after General William Woodford of the American Revolution.
The county maintains numerous horse farms and agricultural estates that represent Kentucky's strong connection to thoroughbred breeding and racing traditions.
Residents and visitors access the county through U.S. Routes 60 and 62, which connect major population centers including Versailles, Midway, and neighboring communities.
Three major bourbon distilleries operate within the county borders, contributing to Kentucky's position in the spirits production industry.
