About Henry County, Kentucky

Henry County, Kentucky, is a rural community that benefits from a diverse economy led by a strong agricultural base, small local businesses, tourism, and industry.  Henry County is located in what could be called a ‘golden triangle.’  Depending on the area of our relatively large county, you can be in Cincinnati, Louisville or Lexington in an hour or less.  We have the best of rural lifestyles with proximity to the amenities cities provide.   Henry County rests northeast of Louisville on I-71 with two major exits amid rolling and fertile acres that expand into the picturesque Kentucky River valley.  The bourbon industry is making a strong presence in the county with huge expansion of the Angel’s Envy brand and other distillers with sites and plans for more.

Businesses looking for an idyllic rural setting with plenty of acreage to expand should take a close look at all Henry County has to offer.  Our once primarily agricultural economy is growing with industries and businesses capitalizing on the natural resources, work force, and life style available here. There are five small incorporated cities and acreage available throughout the county.  With low tax rates, a hometown community feel, two noted school districts, and recreational opportunities, Henry County will warmly welcome you home.
