OTHER INFORMATION
Shelby County was formed from a part of Miami County in 1819. It was named in honor of General Isaac Shelby, a noted officer of the American Revolution and the first governor of Kentucky.
The first court met at Hardin, but Sidney was chosen as the county seat in 1820. The site owned by Charles Starrett and located on the Miami River, eventually saw the founding of many industrial operations.
