History

Formed in 1810 from Hardin County and Ohio County

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

Grayson County was created on April 1, 1810, from parts of Hardin and Ohio counties. The county was named after William Grayson. In 1825, part of Grayson County was separated to create Edmonson County.

Boundary changes from the Newberry Library, Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
