Shelby County was established in 1819 with Hardin serving
as the first County seat. The name Shelby came from
General Isaac Shelby, an officer in the American Revolution
who was noted for his bravery and honesty, and was elected
Governor of Kentucky. The people of the County chose
the name Shelby because many of them were from Kentucky
and admired General Shelby a great deal.
The 420 square-mile county is a blend
of agriculture and industry giving Shelby County a stable
economy. The County is made up of 14 townships with
trustees handling duties in each, eight incorporated villages
(Anna, Botkins, Fort Loramie, Kettlersville, Lockington,
Port Jefferson, Jackson Center and Russia) and one city
(Sidney). The population of the County is 47,910.
