Henry County's History

Henry County was the 26th county formed in Kentucky, coming into existence on June 15, 1799 from a portion of Shelby County. Oldham, Trimble and Carroll Counties were taken from parts of the original Henry County. All of these, along with Owen and Franklin Counties form Henry County's borders today.

Henry County, KY was named for Patrick Henry. Henry County is located in the Outer Bluegrass Region of Kentucky. Its elevation ranges from 425 to 950 feet above sea level. In 1990 the population was 12,823 in a land area of 289 square miles, an average of 44.4 people per square mile. The county seat is New Castle.

This County is dedicated to a man, who followed his dream... and made it a reality.

 

In Memory Of : JEFF DONALD MURPHY, 1947 - 2001, of Redmond, Deschutes County, OR, born in Bowling Green, Warren Co., KY, son of Powell Davis Murphy and Marjorie (Morrison) Murphy. Jeff was the founder of the KYGenWeb, USGenWeb, USBIOGRAPHIES and co-founder of KYBIOGRAPHIES.

 

About the USGenWeb Project

   In December, 1995, Jeff Murphy created what was to be the first county page in the USGenWeb Project, with his Muhlenburg County homepage. In March and April, 1996, he and a group of other genealogists organized the Kentucky Comprehensive Genealogy Database Project, which soon changed it's name to the USGenWeb! The idea was to provide a single entry point for all counties in Kentucky, where collected databases could be stored. In addition, the databases would be indexed and cross-linked, so that even if an individual were found in more than one county, they could be located within the index.

   At the same time, volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the collection of databases and generally oversee the contents of the web page. Since that time, the project has ballooned and encompassed the whole world, with the creation of the WorldGenWeb.

If you are interested in becoming a county coordinator, contact Nancy Trice, USGenWeb State Coordinator.
