Trimble County

Trimble County is an administrative division in northern Kentucky along the Ohio River. The region includes settlements such as Bedford, which serves as the county seat, and several smaller communities.

The area was established in February 1837 and named after Robert Trimble, a United States Supreme Court justice. Its creation reflected Kentucky's administrative reorganization during the 1800s.

The county maintains strong agricultural traditions with local farmers contributing to Kentucky's agricultural production through crops and livestock operations.

The area sits in a region well-connected by highways and local roads linking the main communities. Visitors should expect rural conditions, as some parts may have limited services and facilities.

A central north-south ridge divides the region into two distinct landscapes. The Little Kentucky River flows through the eastern section and shapes the terrain.
