Grayson County was the 54th county in Kentucky.  It was formed from parts of Hardin and Ohio Counties in 1810.  The county was named for Col. William Grayson, an aide to Gen. Washington.  LEITCHFIELD is the county seat.  It was named after Major David Leitch, whose widow donated the land where the town was built.  To learn more about the history of Grayson County visit the Grayson County Chamber of Commerce website.

 The courthouse in Leitchfield  Grayson County Courthouse has burned 3 times.  The first was 24 Dec 1864.  The second fire was 16 Jun 1896 and all records burned.  The last fire on 3 Apr 1936 did not destroy any records.
