Harlan County, located in southeastern Kentucky, was established on January 28, 1819, and named after Major Silas Harlan, a pioneer with strong connections to the area. The county's rich history is steeped in the coal industry, which began to gain traction after the initial discovery of coal in the early 20th century. The growing coal industry led to rapid population growth, as workers arrived to exploit the abundant natural resources.

Throughout the early to mid-20th century, Harlan County became notorious for its labor disputes between coal miners and coal companies, notably the violent 1931-32 dispute called the "Harlan County War." This series of strikes was marked by intense conflict between miners, coal operators, and law enforcement, and garnered national attention. By the mid-20th century, the coal industry reached its peak, with nearly 30,000 miners employed in the county.

Aside from coal mining, Harlan County is known for its scenic beauty, which includes the vast wooded mountain ranges of Pine Mountain and Black Mountain. The county has one incorporated city - Harlan - which serves as the county seat, and several unincorporated communities. Harlan County also boasts a variety of outdoor recreational activities, such as hiking, fishing, and off-roading.

Fun fact: Harlan County is home to Kentucky's highest peak, Black Mountain, which reaches an elevation of 4,145 feet. This makes it a popular destination for hikers and adventure seekers.
