Wolfe County was formed in 1860, the
110th of Kentucky's 120 counties to be created. The county was formed
from parts of
Breathitt
,
Owsley
,
Powell
,
and
Morgan
Counties. Since it's initial creation, Wolfe County has twice lost land
to the formation of newer counties; first to
Menifee
County in 1869 and then to
Lee
County a year later. Today Wolfe County encompasses 227 square miles.
