About Lincoln County, KY - Happy to be your hometown Heating & Air Conditioning Contractor!

Lincoln County was named for the American Revolutionary War General Benjamin Lincoln.  This comes as a surprise to some who assume that it was named for Abe.  Lincoln was one of three counties created out of Virginia's Kentucky County in 1792. "Standing Fort" was one of the smaller pioneer forts during the Revolution but it never fell to an attack.  That area became known as Stanford, which is a lovely town in the county. Lincoln County traces its roots to some of Kentucky’s earliest settlers and boosts many firsts including Kentucky’s first governor, the first chartered school in the state, the first brick house in Kentucky, the first courthouse west of the Alleghenies, and more.

Though it has been expanded and upgraded as the years have passed, the Lincoln County courthouse remains at the exact same site as it was when it was originally built. Unlike most courthouses in Kentucky, it has managed to remain relatively unscathed and intact over the years. Because of this, Lincoln County has all of its original records and archives dating back to November 1789. Among its land deeds kept are documents granting land to both Daniel Boone and Simon Kenton. Pretty cool.
A small local library was built in the 1830s.  The Male Academy, the first school in the area, was built in the 1850s.  That structure is now the Fox Funeral Home.  The parallel Female Academy was built about 2 decades later.  On a chilly day, take a drive through the county and explore the beautiful natural splendor as well as the significant history.

The towns in the county grew considerably in the post-Civil War period. Largely untouched by the American Civil War, the area sustained great growth after the war, which ravaged so many other parts of the country.  The growth spurt really boomed after the Louisville and Nashville Railroad came to the area in 1865. The railway depot has been restored and still stands to mark the local history.   On a pretty day, you might consider taking a stroll through Stanford and checking out all of the local history that this area has to offer.
