HISTORY

     ANDERSON COUNTYOn Jan. 16, 1827, the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky approved "An ACT to erect and establish the county of Anderson out of parts of the county of Franklin, Washington and Mercer: which went into effect on Feb. 1, 1827, and established Anderson County as the 82nd county.  Additional information in this act regards Anderson County's namesake, Richard Clough Anderson, Jr., legislator and U. S. minister plenipotentiary to Columbia, and its county seat, the City of Lawrenceburg.  Anderson County's borders were later modified by the General Assembly's January 28, 1854, approval of "an ACT to change the line between the counties of Franklin and Anderson."  Per en.Wikipedia.org
