The county seat is  Hopkinsville, a highway hub in the southwestern part of the state. The county's southern border joins Tennessee.  In the northwest part of the county, Lake Beshear and the Pennyrile State Resort Park provide recreational opportunities

The county was created from lands previously part of Logan County, and named after a Virginian, Colonel William Christian, a Revolutionary War officer who settled in Kentucky in 1785.
