History
William Ramey, born about 1782, came from North Carolina and purchased a 200-acre tract near the mouth of Elkhorn Creek in 1816. He served as justice of the peace, sheriff, and commissioner of roads in Pike County, and acquired thousands of acres through land surveys and county court orders. He founded Elkhorn City, and his descendants still live in the area.
