Harrodsburg, the county seat of Mercer County, was founded in 1774 by a stalwart band of pioneers led by James Harrod, of Pennsylvania. It was the only "colonial" city and the first permanent English settlement west of the Allegheny mountains. Referred to as the "Birthplace of the West," Harrodsburg has a proud and remarkable heritage. From here the pioneers filtered through - conquering the wilderness and going on to populate and settle the rest of the Western frontier. Harrodsburg was first the county seat of Fincastle County, Virginia, then Kentucky County Virginia. When Kentucky County was divided into the counties of Fayette, Jefferson and Lincoln, Harrodsburg was the county seat of Lincoln County, which at that time covered over a third of the soon to be state. In 1785 Mercer County was taken from Lincoln and Harrodsburg remained the county seat of Mercer County. The Kentucky territory became a state in 1792.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) District 7 reminds motorists to use extra caution as students across Central Kentucky return to school this week.

As the new school year begins, motorists should expect increased traffic during the morning and afternoon commute, particularly near schools. Drivers should remain alert for school buses, student drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists.

Motorists are reminded to:

🔸Adjust commute times, if possible, to allow for increased traffic and delays.
🔸Slow down and obey posted speed limits, especially in school zones.
🔸Watch for students walking or biking to and from school, and use extra caution near crosswalks.
🔸 Come to a complete stop at stop signs, obey traffic signals and yield to pedestrians and bicyclists.

🛑 Motorists should also be aware of a new Kentucky law that impacts what drivers should do when they see a bus with red flashing lights and an extended stop arm. Learn more: https://www.kentuckyteacher.org/news/2026/08/kde-reminds-drivers-of-important-change-to-bus-traffic-safety-laws/

Please be patient, stay alert and help ensure students across Central Kentucky have a safe start to the new school year.
