History
- the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia
Lincoln County, organized in 1780, was one of the first three counties formed out of the original Kentucky County, which was then still part of Virginia. The other two counties were Fayette and Jefferson.
The county is named for the American Revolutionary War General Benjamin Lincoln. A common misconception is that Lincoln County was named for President Abraham Lincoln, but it was named 29 years before his birth.
