About The
County
Harrison County, the
seventeenth county is located in north central Kentucky. It is bordered by
the counties of Bourbon,
Grant,
Nicholas,
Pendleton, Robertson, and Scott and
covers an area
of 310 square miles. Formed
on December 21, 1793, out of portions of Bourbon
and Scott counties. Harrison was named in honor of Colonel Benjamin
Harrison of Pennsylvania, who settled in Bourbon County and wrote part of
the constitution of Kentucky.
Cynthiana
the county seat was built on a 150 acre tract donated by Robert Harrison
and named for his two daughters, Cynthia and Anna. The Cynthiana area was
first settled in 1775, by Captain John Hinkston and a group of fifteen men
from Pennsylvania. The site was abandoned and
reoccupied in 1779 by Isaac Ruddle
and named
Ruddles
Station.
