Graves County is located in the far southwestern region of the state of Kentucky in the United States. Established on December 19, 1821, the county was named after Major Benjamin Franklin Graves, a notable Kentucky legislator and military figure who perished in the Battle of Raisin River during the War of 1812. The county seat is Mayfield.

Prior to European settlements, the area was inhabited by Native American tribes, primarily the Chickasaw. In the early 19th century, Graves County saw an influx of settlers from Virginia and North Carolina, attracted by its fertile soil and abundant natural resources. Agriculture played a vital role in the county's economy, with farmers primarily cultivating tobacco and corn.

Graves County has a rich historical heritage with many landmarks, such as the Wooldridge Monuments and the Confederate Memorial of Mayfield. The city of Mayfield, in particular, played a significant role during the Civil War, serving as the stronghold of the Confederate Army.

Fun Fact: Graves County is known for its annual "Tater Day" festival, also known as the Sweet Potato Festival. This unique event dates back to the 1840s when farmers gathered in Mayfield to trade and sell sweet potatoes or "taters." The festival is celebrated on the first Monday of April and features a variety of community events, including a beauty pageant, a parade, and a carnival.
