History

Formed in 1870 from Floyd County, Johnson County, Lawrence County and Pike County

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

Martin County was created from Floyd, Johnson, Lawrence, and Pike counties. It was named after John Preston Martin. The county gained land from Lawrence in 1878 and lost a small area to Pike in 1880.

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