Map of Kentucky's counties

This is a list of the one hundred and twenty counties in the U.S. state of Kentucky. A county is a Land area of Regional Government within a larger State. The United States of America —commonly referred to as the A US state is any one of the fifty subnational entities of the United States of America that share Sovereignty with the federal government The Commonwealth of Kentucky ( is a state located in the East Central United States of America. Despite ranking 37^th in size by area, Kentucky has 120 counties, third in the U. S. behind Texas's 254 and Georgia's 159. Texas ( is a state geographically located in the South Central United States and is also known as the Lone Star State. The State of Georgia ( is a state in the United States and was one of the original Thirteen Colonies that revolted against British rule ^[1] The original motivation for having so many counties was to ensure that residents in the days of poor roads and horseback travel could make a round trip from their home to the county seat and back in a single day, as well as being able to travel from one county seat to the next in the same fashion. ^[2] Later, however, politics began to play a part, with citizens who disagreed with the present county government simply petitioning the state to create a new county. The 1891 Kentucky Constitution placed stricter limits on county creation, stipulating that a new county:

• must have a land area of at least 400 square miles (1,000 km²);
• must have a population of at least 12,000 people;
• must not by its creation reduce the land area of an existing county to less than 400 square miles (1,000 km²);
• must not by its creation reduce the population of an existing county to less than 12,000 people;
• must not create a county boundary line that passes within 10 miles (16 km) of an existing county seat. The Constitution of the Commonwealth of Kentucky is the document that governs the United States Commonwealth of Kentucky.

These regulations have reined in the proliferation of counties in Kentucky. Since the 1891 Constitution, only McCreary County has been created. McCreary County is a County located in the US state of Kentucky. ^[3]

Because today's largest county by area, Pike County, is 788 square miles (2,041 km²), it is now impossible to create a new county from a single existing county under the current constitution. Pike County is a County located in the US state of Kentucky. As of 2000 the population was 68736 Any county created in this manner will by necessity either be smaller than 400 square miles (1,000 km²) or reduce the land area of the old county to less than 400 square miles (1,000 km²). It is still theoretically possible to form a new county from portions of more than one existing county (McCreary County was formed in this manner), but the area and boundary restrictions would make this extremely difficult.

The two largest cities in Kentucky, Louisville and Lexington, are "urban-county governments," Kentucky's legal term for a consolidated city-county arrangement. Lexington (officially Lexington-Fayette Urban County is the second-largest city in Kentucky and the 68th largest in the United States. Lexington and Fayette County are completely consolidated. When the Louisville Metro government was formed, all incorporated cities in Jefferson County, apart from Louisville, retained their status as cities; however, the Louisville Metro Council is the main government for the entire county, and is elected by residents in all of Jefferson County.

The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) code, which is used by the United States government to uniquely identify counties, is provided with each entry. Federal Information Processing Standards ( FIPS) are publicly announced standards developed by the United States Federal government for use by all non-military The FIPS code for each county links to census data for that county.
