History

The Louisville and Frankfort Shortline railroad, which arrived in eastern Jefferson County through Hobbs Station, now Anchorage, in 1848, created a cluster of communities that became known as Anchorage, Berrytown, and Griffytown. According to local tradition, in 1879 freedman Dan Griffith bought the cabin of early Middletown settler Minor White from his family, moved it to Old Harrod's Creek Road, and founded the settlement known today as Griffytown, originally spelled Griffeytown. The cabin burned in 1956.
