Knox
County was formed
in 1858, remained unsettled and was again formed into a county in 1876.
In the 1880 census there were 77 residents living on three farms or
ranches. Named for Henry Knox, Revolutionary War General and
the
Secretary of War in George Washington's first cabinet, it was and
remains today a relatively small county. With
about 850 square miles it's original settlers mined copper, grew cotton
or raised cattle. By the 1940's oil was a big product with
the
population reaching as high as 10,090 in 1940 and the 2010 estimated
population was 3,719.
The county
seat
is Benjamin. Fort Knox, Kentucky was
also named for General Henry Knox.
