McCreary
County is located in southeastern Kentucky at
the south end of the Daniel Boone National
Forest and the north end of the Big South Fork
National River and Recreation Area. We also
share Cumberland Falls with neighboring Whitley
County and have a northeast access to Lake
Cumberland. |
|
McCreary County was the 120th, and the last, county in
Kentucky to be formed in March 1912 and named for then
Governor James B McCreary. In our 100 year history,
McCreary County has been influenced greatly by the
timber and coal industries, which shape our history,
heritage and culture. McCreary County is also largely
undeveloped with the US Forest Service and Park Service
owning much of our lands. This allows locals and
visitors to experience nature in a unique way. Our cost
of living and our taxes are relatively low, our people
are welcoming and our landscape is scenic and rustic. |
