Anderson County Kentucky
American History & Genealogy Project

*Anderson County, the 82nd in order of formation, was organized in 1827, out of parts of Franklin, Mercer, and Washington; and named after one of the most brilliant young men of Kentucky, Richard Clough Anderson, Jr., then recently deceased. It is situated in the middle portion of the state, and is bounded on the north by Franklin County, east by the Kentucky River, which separates it from Woodford, south by Mercer and Washington, and west by Spencer County. It is well watered by Salt River (which has many tine mills and good water power); by its tributaries, Crooked, Fox, Stoney, and Hammond creeks; and by Kentucky River and its tributaries, Bailey's run, Little Benson, and Gilbert's creek.
