In 1819, Harlan County was the 60th. county to be formed from Floyd and Knox Counties.
Named for Major Silas Harlan 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.
