Pulaski County, Kentucky's twenty-seventh county, was formed in 1799 from territory taken from Lincoln and Green Counties and was named for Count Casimir Pulaski, a Polish patriot and soldier of liberty. He came to the U.S. when he learned of the Colonies' fight for freedom, became a brigadier general in the Revolution, and gave his life to the cause of America on Oct. 11, 1779. Counties in seven states were named for him.
