Montgomery County, the twenty-second county in order of formation, was created on December 14, 1796 from Clark County . It is located east of Lexington in the outer Bluegrass region. It has an area of 199 square miles. The county was named for Gen. Richard Montgomery, who was killed at the Revolutionary War battle of Quebec. Montgomery County once stretched to the Virginia border but with the formation of Floyd, Bath, Powell, and Menifee counties, it assumed its present size in 1869. The northern two-thirds of the county has the rolling landscape typical of the Outer Bluegrass; the southern portion is much more hilly, with the thin soils and more abundant forests of the foothills region.

The population of Montgomery County was 15,364 in 1970; 20,046 in 1980; and 19,561 in 1990. The Official County Government Website is located at http://www.montgomerycounty.ky.gov/.
