Bourbon County, Kentucky Court House Records
Some
of the most beautiful country in America is in Paris, Kentucky. In 1780
the district of Kentucky belonged to three counties in Virginia, viz:
Fayette, Jefferson and Lincoln. Old Bourbon County was formed in 1786
from Fayette and Bourbon Counties, Virginia, and originally comprised 34
northeastern counties of Kentucky. When the new State of Kentucky was
created in 1792, Bourbon became a county. The land itself was given by
Fayette County, Virginia, and was named after the French House of
Bourbon in honor of the assistance which France gave to America during
the Revolutionary War. The courthouse was destroyed by fire in 1872 and
again in1901, resulting in the loss of county records. Whiskey, made
from corn had a distinctive flavor and became a popular drink termed
Bourbon whiskey as opposed to rye whiskey. The whiskey barrels were marked
Old Bourbon
when they were shipped downriver from the local port on the Ohio River.
The port from where the whiskey was shipped was called Limestone, now
Maysville, and was located in Bourbon County until the borders were
redrawn in 1789 and it became Mason County. The county seat is Paris,
Kentucky.
