Bath County was named for its natural springs. Bath County is situated strategically on Interstate 64 at the gateway to Kentucky’s beautiful Bluegrass Region and the county seat is Owingsville. The first known settlers to Bath County arrived around 1774. Settlers were pleased with the area because of the abundance of food via animals to hunt, all due to having “licks.”
