Welcome to Shelby County. Known as one of the most diverse communities in Kentucky, our small town atmosphere, coupled with a unique blend of agriculture, business, and industry makes Shelby County a wonderful place to visit, live, and work.

The vibrancy of Shelby County and the fact that we serve as a regional center to several nearby communities makes our county an ideal location for quality business and industry to locate.

Our close proximity to three major metropolitan areas, (Louisville, Lexington, and Cincinnati), enables citizens to enjoy the amenities of the big city but relax in a small community.

Shelby County offers full-scale service in police, fire, all utilities, emergency medical services, hospitals, education, recreation, and much more.

Established in 1957, the Shelby County Industrial & Development Foundation has made a name for itself statewide and nationally by recruiting clean industries. The industries of Shelby County provide over 8500 sound jobs for area residents. The Industrial Foundation also assists industries by providing job fairs, informational seminars, and other assistance as needed.

We believe as you browse through this site, you too, will be able to embrace the special uniqueness that belongs only to Shelby County.

We look forward to serving you.
