After Kentucky attained statehood in 1792, Washinton County was the first county created by Kentucky's new government. It was named for the president at the time, George Washington.
Three more counties were created in 1792 -- Scott, Shelby, (named for Kentucky's first governor), and Logan -- bringing the total number of Kentucky counties to thirteen.
