Fayette County was formed in 1780 when the Virginia General Assembly partitioned off into Kentucky County which then abolished and was separated into three different counties: Fayette, Jefferson, and Lincoln. Together, these counties and those setting off from them later in that decade separated from Virginia in 1792 to become the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Lexington did not become the county seat for Fayette County until 1974. Sitting at 286 square miles, Fayette County is home to the 62nd largest city in the U.S. and 323,152 residents.
