.Greenup County, located in northeastern Kentucky, was established on December 12, 1803, and named after its fourth governor, Christopher Greenup.

The city of Greenup, recognized as the county seat, was initially named as the small but thriving city of Greenupsburg. It was founded in 1803, alongside the establishment of the Greenup County. The name change to Greenup occurred in 1872.
