Barren County, KY - Cook Surname

Barren County, the thirty-seventh in order of formation, lies in south-central Kentucky, midway between Louisville and Nashville, and covers an area of 482 square miles. It is bounded by Hart, Edmonson, Warren, Allen, Monroe, and Metcalfe Counties. Created on December 20, 1798, from parts of Warren and Green Counties, it was named for the barrens, the meadowlands that covers the northern third. 70% of the original settlers came from Virginia; 80% of them were English, Scottish, Welsh, or Irish.Â

The county seat was named Glasgow which was named for Glasgow, Virginia in Amherst County where many of the early settlers came from and to honor the early Scottish settlers. Some of the first explorers were the Long Hunters led by Henry Skaggs.
