Welcome This County is available for adoption! That means there is no one available to answer your questions about this county or to help you research your family.

WE REGRET THAT WE ARE UNABLE TO DO PERSONAL RESEARCH FOR YOU.

Saline County was formed from Gallatin county on 25 Feb 1847.  Its name was derived from the salt springs in the vicinity.  Its present boundaries have remained unchanged to date.
