Introduction Campbellsville, Kentucky, is located in the heart of Kentucky and has a population of approximately 12,000. This community was founded in 1817 and was named after Andrew and Adam Campbell, who were early settlers who found it. Campbellsville became the seat of Taylor County in 1848 after it separated from Green County. The area was named after Mexican war hero Zachary Taylor who later became the 12th president of the United States. The community had an original market of livestock, crops, and many other agricultural things. The city now has much more industrial industry. Tourism also boosts the economy here since Green River Lake is within the county lines.
