Elizaville

Elizaville, Kentucky, nestled in Fleming County, boasts a history rooted in agriculture and early American settlement. The area was likely settled in the late 18th or early 19th century, following the influx of pioneers into Kentucky after the Revolutionary War. While documentation on Elizaville itself is limited, its history is intertwined with that of Fleming County, established in 1798 and named for Colonel John Fleming, a participant in the Battle of Blue Licks. Elizaville likely served as a small crossroads community, supporting the surrounding farms and contributing to the county's agricultural output. Its proximity to larger towns like Flemingsburg meant it remained a smaller, more rural settlement.
