A county called Beckham County was formed out of Carter, Elliot, and Lewis Counties in 1904 but was dissolved only 2 months after its creation as it was deemed unconstitutional by State Court of Appeals. Understandable oversight but otherwise great work!

Amazing that my county existed before Kentucky was a state. And hasn’t changed shape since 1843, wow. Thank you

I hate looking at the modern political makeup of kentucky... I wish the other offices were more reflective of the offices elected by popular vote.
