In the 1700s white settlers began to move through the Cumberland Gap into this area, resulting in the establishment of Fort Boonesboro in 1775. The number of immigrants swelled during the late 1700s and early 1800s and the cultural landscape began to change appreciably. From its initial political status as part of Virginia in 1786, Madison County became one of the original counties of Kentucky in 1792. Madison County was largely a rural area with agriculture being the primary source of employment during these early years. The City of Richmond was established in 1798, followed by Berea in 1854. By the beginning of the 20th century, Madison County’s population had grown to 25,607, with 4,653 people residing in Richmond and 762 in Berea. Both Richmond and Berea functioned largely as small service centers for the surrounding agricultural hinterland. The greatest period of change has occurred during the latter part of the 20th century, from 1960 to 2000 where the 1960 population of 33, 482 more than doubled during this interval, reaching a total of 70,872 in 2000. The population growth was matched by physical development of the landscape; numerous residential subdivisions, shopping centers, industrial parks, a dense network of roads and highways, and increasing numbers of motor vehicles, schools, etc. Agriculture continued to play an important role in the county’s economy despite a shrinking resource base, within the forty year period described above, the 1990s stand out as a decade of unsurpassed growth. The county’s population increased from 57,508 to 70,872, a gain of 13,364 (23.3%). It was during the latter part of this period that the Madison County Fiscal Court decided to get involved in a planning program. Both Berea and Richmond had committed to planning programs in the early 1960s. In 1992, the county contracted with the Geographical Studies and Research Center at Eastern Kentucky University and the Bluegrass Area Development District to complete a “Planning Study.” This “study” followed the format of a comprehensive plan, but left out a land use component because it was considered to be too controversial. In 1994 a survey was conducted to determine where citizens of the county stood on the appointment of a county planning commission and the completion of a county comprehensive plan. Some 6,000 letters were sent out and the responses received were overwhelmingly in favor (over 80%) of both proposals. Accordingly, in 1995 the county proceeded to undertake

  • This Region, Centered Around Lexington, Is Known for Its Bluegrass. However, Bluegrass Is Not Really Blue — It's Green
    N O I G E R S S A R G E U L B This region, centered around Lexington, is known for its bluegrass. However, bluegrass is not really blue — it’s green. In the spring, bluegrass produces bluish-purple buds that when seen in large fields give a rich blue cast to the grass. Today those large “bluegrass” fields are home to some of the best known horse farms in the world. With more than 500 horse farms in and around Lexington, the area is known as the Horse Capital of the World.

    BOONE Bluegrass KENTONCAMPBELL Region GALLATIN PENDLETON CARROLL BRACKEN GRANT Inner Bluegrass TRIMBLE MASON Bluegrass Hills OWEN ROBERTSON LEWIS HENRY HARRISON Outer Bluegrass OLDHAM FLEMING NICHOLAS Knobs and Shale SCOTT FRANKLIN SHELBY BOURBON Alluvium JEFFERSON BATH Sinkholes SPENCER FAYETTE MONTGOMERY ANDERSONWOODFORD BULLITT CLARK JESSAMINE NELSON MERCER POWELL WASHINGTON MADISON ESTILL GARRARD BOYLE MARION LINCOLN The Bluegrass Region is bounded by the Knobs on the west, south, and east, and by the Ohio River in the north. Bedrock in most of the region is composed of Ordovician limestones and shales 450 million years old. Younger Devonian, Silurian, and Mississippian shales and limestones form the Knobs Region. Much of the Ordovician strata lie buried beneath the surface. The oldest rocks at the surface in Kentucky are exposed along the Palisades of the Kentucky River. Limestones are quarried or mined throughout the region for use in construction. Water from limestone springs is bottled and sold. The black shales are a potential source of oil. The Bluegrass, the first region settled by Europeans, includes about 25 percent of Kentucky. Over 50 percent of all Kentuckians live there an average 190 people per square mile, ranging from 1,750 people per square mile in Jefferson County to 23 people per square mile in Robertson County. The Inner Blue Grass is characterized by rich, fertile phosphatic soils, which are perfect for raising thoroughbred horses. The gently rolling topography is caused by the weathering of limestone that is typical of the Ordovician strata of central Kentucky, pushed up along the Cincinnati Arch. Weathering of the limestone also produces sinkholes, sinking streams, springs, caves, and soils.
