About Ft. McClellan

From wikipedia, History of Georgetown, Kentucky:

Native peoples have lived along the banks of Elkhorn Creek in what is now Scott County for at least 15,000 years.[6] European exploration can be dated to a June 1774 surveying expedition from Fincastle County, Virginia, led by Colonel John Floyd. For his military service, he was granted a claim of 1,000 acres (4.0 km2) in the area by the state of Virginia. He named it Royal Spring but did not settle it.[8] John McClellan was the first to settle the area and established McClellan's Station there in 1775, but the compound was abandoned following an Indian attack on December 29, 1776.
