Settled by English and Scotch-Irish descendants who ventured "over the mountains" in search of adventure; land; and fortune; Breathitt County; Kentucky; has produced interesting tales of beauty; progress; intrigue; and murder. "Bloody Breathitt" was the site of a long series of feuds that lasted from the early days of the "Cattle Wars" until the 1970s and beyond. Through the years; the city of Jackson and Breathitt County have experienced booms and busts centered on its natural resources; which included salt; timber; oil; and coal. Since its establishment on April 1; 1839; the county has been a place of educational opportunity through community schools; school districts; Lees College; and a vocational school. From its rugged mountain roots filled with feuds to a community working to embrace new technology and the reemergence of timber and coal industries; Breathitt County has always been in transition; and its continued growth must be grounded in a firm understanding of its past.
