The County
Located in north-central Kentucky, Scott County
was named for General Charles
Scott, who later served as governor of Kentucky
from 1808-1812. Georgetown,
the
county seat is located seven miles north of
Lexington. Taken from a part of
Woodford County, Scott was the eleventh county
formed in 1792. It was one
of two counties established by the first Kentucky
Legislature on June 1, 1792.
Scott is bounded by Owen, Grant, Harrison,
Woodford and Franklin
counties and contains 286 square miles.
The Courthouse
The Scott County Courthouse was built in 1792
on a one acre lot sold to
the county by Elijah Craig. This building was
torn down and a much
larger courthouse was built in its place. On
August 9, 1837, fire destroyed
the second courthouse and most of the records
were lost. The third courthouse
was built in 1847. Again in 1876 the
Scott County courthouse was destroyed by
fire. The fourth courthouse was built
and remains today.
