The Growth of Virginia, 1634-1895:
Kentucky, 1781-1790
The three counties which had replaced Kentucky County in 1780 proved just as unmanageable as their predecessor. As the Revolution ended and Confederation days ensued, newer, smaller units began to replace the former trio. But as the same sorts of distance-related problems continued in administering the now nine Kentucky country counties, a new move began to split off from Virginia overlordship entirely. Virginia acquiesced in 1789,
ceding these counties voluntarily to Federal control. Within another three years, the whole area beyond the Cumberlands had been admitted into the Federal Union as a new State of Kentucky.
