“
Jessamine
County
is one of the few great counties of the state
whose history remains unwritten. For a long time after its be-
ginning, it was overshadowed in many ways by
Lexington
. Dan
ville, Paris, Harrodsburg, and
Winchester
. The county had no
postofifice until 1801. Mails were infrequent and carried by
hand.
Lexington
was the great town south of the
Ohio
and west
of the Alleghenies. When the county was organized, Lexing
ton had a population of nearly 2,000 while
Cincinnati
had less
than 500, and was buying its merchandise in
Lexington
; which
was already the seat of a university; it had churches and schools,
and was the great trading point for a large part of
Kentucky
, and
a portion of
Ohio
.
Indiana
and
Tennessee
.”
Jessamine
County
was formed in 1798 when it was separated from
Fayette
County
. Some say the county was named for the jasmine flower that grows along creek banks. Others say it was named for Jessamine Douglas, daughter of settler James Douglas. Nicholasville also was formed in 1798, and was named for Revolutionary War Col. George Nicholas.
Nicholasville, the county seat, was named for George Nicholas, who drew up the first
Kentucky
constitution.
Other communities are
High
Bridge
, Little Hickman, Keene, and Wilmore.
Jessamine
County
is the home of
Asbury
College
and Asbury Theological Seminary, which are in Wilmore.
