The two largest skirmishes of the Civil War in Jefferson County occurred here on September 27 and 30, 1862. Confederate forces, already in control of the state capital, were threatening Louisville. In the first clash, the Confederates were driven back to Floyds Fork. Three days later, the Confederates again halted at the Union line. Both actions were preliminary to the Battle of Perryville on October 8, 1862.
