The Cache

The Area
Bedford County was officially created in 1807 when the citizens of Rutherford County living south of the Duck and Stones Rivers successfully petitioned the governor to split Rutherford County into two counties. The new county was named after Revolutionary War officer Thomas Bedford Jr., who was a large landowner in the area. The county seat, Shelbyville was named for Major General Isaac Shelby of the Revolutionary War and the State of Kentucky’s first Governor. The landscape is comprised of 475 square miles of beautiful rolling pastured lands mixed with high elevation hills and flat river bottoms.
