"Harrodsburg, the county seat of Mercer County, was founded in 1774 by a stalwart band of pioneers led by James Harrod, of Pennsylvania. It was the only "colonial" city and the first permanent English settlement west of the Allegheny mountains. . . .
Harrodsburg was first the county seat of Fincastle County, Virginia, then Kentucky County Virginia. When Kentucky County was divided into the counties of Fayette, Jefferson and Lincoln, Harrodsburg was the county seat of Lincoln County, which at that time covered over a third of the soon to be state.
In 1785 Mercer County was taken from Lincoln and Harrodsburg has remained the county seat of Mercer County. The Kentucky territory became a state in 1792."

"The year 1785 was an eventful one in the history of Harrodsburg for it was considered to petition the Legislature for an Act establishing the town. This petition was duly prepared and was in the following terms: . . .
For which your petitioners are bound in duty to pray, . . .
Henry Thomas . . . James Thomas . . "
