In 1819, Harlan County was the 60th

who came from Virginia to Kentucky in 1774, Major Harlan was a frontier soldier
who was killed at the Battle of Blue Licks. The Fiscal Court is a governing body
of Harlan County, Kentucky. The Constitution of 1891 gave the name "Fiscal
Court" to the body in each county that would have the power to transact all
county business. This body consists of a County Judge Executive and five
magistrates. The term County Judge Executive became effective January 1, 1978
after a 1975 referendum transferred the judicial authority of County Judge to a
new State Court System, making the County Judge Executive chief executive
officer of the County.
