When Boone County was officially established in 1799 (having been created by the Kentucky Legislature in 1798) from Campbell County , less than two hundred men owned all of the land in the County and the population of the County was approximately 1500. On June 17, 1799 the first county court, held at the William Cave home in North Bend Bottoms, decided to locate the county seat on a seventy-four acre site donated by Robert Johnson and John Hawkins Craig in the north-central part of the county. The town, originally known as Craig's Camp, was initially named Wilmington and, at the request of the Post Office, renamed Burlington in 1816. In January of 1801, the Boone County Court Order Book notes that "... Court [was] held for the County of Boone at the Courthouse. . ." after having met for over a year at homes in and around the county seat. According to early reports, this Courthouse was a log building and was used for sixteen years until a large brick structure, facing Jefferson Street, was completed in 1817. After being remodeled several times, this courthouse was demolished and, in 1889, Boone County built its third courthouse, still in use today.
