ABOUT SCOTT COUNTY:

Scott County was formed on February 1, 1820 from portions of Clark, Jackson, Jefferson, 
Jennings, and Washington counties.  It was named for General Charles Scott, who was Governor 
of Kentucky from 1808 to 1812.

Confederate John Hunt Morgan and about 1,800 Confederate soldiers traveled through Scott 
County during what became known as "Morgan’s Raid" on July 10 & 11, 1863.  The Reno Brothers 
Gang committed one of the first train robberies on May 22, 1868 on the Jeffersonville, Madison 
and Indianapolis Railroad near Marshfield (between Scottsburg and Austin).  One of the worst 
tornadoes in history, an EF-5, hit the Nabb and Lexington areas on April 3rd, 1974
