| Cadiz is the county seat of
Trigg County which is located in the Pennyrile area of
southwestern Kentucky. The county, established in 1820
from parts of Christian and Caldwell counties, was named
in honor of Colonel Stephen Trigg.
He had established Trigg Station on Cave Run near Harrodsburg, and then had died in the Battle of Blue Licks. |

| Tennessee forms the
southern border of the county, which contains a portion of the Land
Between the Lakes (that area lying between Lake Barkley and Kentucky
Lake) as well as part of the Fort Campbell Military Reservation.
The famous Lake Barkley State Resort Park is in the north central part of the county. A number of recreational and
residential developments near Lake Barkley show the
recreational value of this great impoundment of the
Cumberland River. Kentucky Lake, a massive impoundment of the Tennessee River, forms the
western border of the county. |
