Pendleton County; carved from parts of Bracken and Campbell Counties in 1798; sits halfway between Cincinnati; Ohio; and Lexington; Kentucky. The Pendleton name came from the early group of Virginia settlers who founded Falmouth; the county seat; at the confluence of the Licking Rivers. They selected this name to honor Edmund Pendleton; a Virginia statesman and surveyor of Kentucky. The landscape offered gently rolling hills; the two Licking Rivers; and their tributaries as a place to settle and prosper. Within the valleys and rich bottomlands of these hills; the communities of Falmouth; Butler; DeMossville; Catawba; Goforth; McKinneysburg; Boston Station; Morgan; Flour Creek; Mt. Auburn; and all the small business centers grew and prospered. Pendleton County has provided their community; state; and country with citizens who served as legislators; ministers; soldiers; education leaders; entertainers; business entrepreneurs; and a Nobel Prize�winning scientist.

Great . but could be more ?By Manuel L. Vigil Jr.First let me say i love this book . But it could have been so much more . Limited amount of pages . for something so important . There are so many more people that should have been included . but were missed . It should have included at least a few interviews with some prominent member of the old community . Maybe the author was just limited on what she could do ? Otherwise a good first effort .0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
