In 1796,
Montgomery became the 22nd county created by the Kentucky Legislature. It was
named for General Richard Montgomery, an Irishman who was killed in the first
volley of the attack on Quebec in 1775. In the beginning, Montgomery County
stretched over unpopulated land all the way to the Virginia border. Within a
few years, however, other counties had been formed from parts of Montgomery,
and it is now one of the smallest of Kentucky's 120 counties.
Montgomery
County is located in the Outer Bluegrass region of the state. The elevation in
the county ranges from 707 to 1447 feet above sea level. In 2000 the county
population was 22,554 in a land area of 198.59 square miles, an average of
113.6 people per square mile. The county seat is Mount Sterling.
