Jackson County was established April 25, 1858 from portions of Rockcastle, Owsley, Madison, Clay, Estill, Laurel Counties.

The county seat of McKee (probably named for Judge George R. McKee) is located in
the center of the county in a little valley about a quarter of a mile wide, enclosed by
steep hills, on the headwaters of Indian Creek.
