History from Collins' History of Kentucky, 1877
Edmonson county, the 79th in order of erection, was formed in 1825, out of parts of Warren, Hart and Grayson, and named in honor of Capt. John Edmonson. It lies on both sides of Green river; and is bounded N by Grayson, E by Hart and Barren, S by Warren, and W by Warren and Butler counties. The land is generally undulating, and in some places quite hilly. There are several sulphur springs in the county, with ores of various kinds, and an inexhaustible supply of coal.
