Grant County was established in 1820 and is named for a nearby settler, Samuel Grant, the son of William and Elizabeth Boone Grant, and the nephew of Daniel Boone.

Early pioneers heavily traveled the “dry ridge trace” (the Indian trail) which later became the Lexington-Covington Turnpike (a stagecoach route) and the line of travel for the Norfolk Southern Railroad.  After tool gates were taken down, it became what it is known as today, “Dixie Highway” or US 25.
