Founded in 1793, Shepherdsville is the oldest town in Bullitt County and has served as its county seat since its inception in 1796. It is named after Adam Shepherd, a Maryland native who regularly visited the area to tend to his father's interests, which included land grants and surveying. Shepherd built a mill and store and also designed the streets of the town, part of a 900-acre area he owned just north of the Salt River. Learn More...
