Floyd's Station was a pioneer fort begun in 1779, one of five on Beargrass Creek, and was situated 500 feet west. Three of these forts were owned by Col. John Floyd, who made his headquarters here. He served as first County Lieut. of Jefferson County from 1780 until he was killed by Indians in 1783. From these forts of defense and refuge, war was carried on against the British and the Indians in Ohio.
