Harrodsburg was named for
Captain James Harrod
(1742-92), a native of
Pennsylvania who learned of
Kentucky, then part of
Virginia, through Daniel
Boone. Leading a party of 32
men in 1774, he founded Fort
Harrod, now Harrodsburg, on
June 16 of that year.
Harrodsburg historically ranks
as Kentucky's oldest town, as
well as the first permanent
settlement west of the
Allegheny Mountains.
Harrodsburg is conveniently
located in the heart of
Kentucky's historic Bluegrass
Region, 32 miles southwest of
Lexington. Kentucky's first
settlement is easily
accessible vie US 127, US 68,
Interstate 64 (30 miles to the
north), Interstate 75 (34
miles to the east) and the
east-west Bluegrass Parkway
(15 miles to the north).
Harrodsburg's climate is
seasonal, with warm summers
and cool winters. Although the
weather is subject to change,
extremes are rare.
