Established in 1803 and named for the fourth Governor of Kentucky, Greenup stands proudly on the banks of the mighty
Ohio River. Gateway to the Country Music Highway and home to several industries with unique river communities and a strong sense of heritage, Greenup County is truly "Kentucky’s natural beauty at its best!" Greenup County is governed by the Greenup Fiscal Court and Judge Robert W. Carpenter. We are home to eight city governments and three school systems, Greenup County,
Raceland-Worthington Independent, and Russell Independent.
