Located in southeastern Jefferson County; Louisvilles Fern Creek community was settled in the 1780s with land grants given by Virginia for military service. The construction of the Louisville-Bardstown Turnpike encouraged Fern Creeks growth as farmers settled the land along the route. Originally known as Stringtown for the appearance of the houses that sprang up along Bardstown Pike; Fern Creek is named after the creek that meanders through the area. Due to the abundant sources of water throughout the southeastern portion of Jefferson County; several mills operated in the area; most notably in Buechel; on Cedar Creek; and on Floyds Fork. The erection of mills provided early settlers the means to grind corn and wheat. Originally an agricultural community of fields; orchards; and stables; Fern Creek established the Farmers and Fruit Growers Association in 1880 and the Jefferson County Fair Company; which operated at the Fern Creek Fairgrounds until 1928.
