History

Formed in 1811 from Montgomery County

An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.

Bath County was named after a spring. The county gained territory from Floyd in 1818, but lost land to the creation of Morgan County in 1823. In 1869, Bath County gained a small area from Montgomery County but lost territory to the creation of Menifee County.
