McCreary County, the 120th and last county in order of formation, is located in south-central Kentucky between the Big South Fork and the main body of the Cumberland River. It was created in 1912 from parts of Wayne, Pulaski and Whitley counties. The county contains 427 square miles. Although intensely loyal to the Union in the Civil War and overwhelmingly Republican, the county was named for a Confederate army veteran and two-time Democratic governor, James B. McCreary (1875-79, 1911-15). WHITLEY CITY is the county seat.

The population was 12,548 in 1970; 15,634 in 1980; and 15,603 in 1990. The Official County Government Website is located at http://www.mccrearycounty.com/.
