History from
Collins' History of Kentucky, 1877
|
Butler county, the 53rd organized,
was formed in 1810, out of parts of Logan and Ohio counties; lies
on both sides of Green river, in the SW part of the state; is bounded N
by ohio and Grayson counties, E by Grayson adn Edmonson, S by Lyon and
Warren, and W by Muhlenburg.The surface is hilly; the soil second-rate,
but productive. A large extent of territory is too poor and broken ever
to be turned to agricultural uses. The hill lands are admirably adapted
to grazing and fruit growing; the peach crop has not failed, on some of
these elevations, for many years. The hills are full of coal. |
