History
- the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia
Lincoln County, organized in 1780, was one of three counties formed out of the original Kentucky County, which then constituted the westernmost part of Virginia. The other counties were Fayette and Jefferson. In 1792 the three counties were separated from Virginia and became the Commonwealth of Kentucky, the 15th state.
The county is named for American Revolutionary War General Benjamin Lincoln. (President Abraham Lincoln was born 29 years after its creation.)
