Welcome to Carlisle County, Kentucky
County History

          Carlisle County, created entirely from Ballard County on May 3, 1886, lies in the Jackson Purchase region of far western Kentucky. Bounded by Ballard, Graves, and Hickman counties, and by the Mississippi River to the west, it was originally part of Chickasaw tribal lands acquired by Isaac Shelby and Andrew Jackson in 1818. The land was part of Hickman County from 1821 to 1842, when it was included in the creation of Ballard County. The county was named for John G. CARLISLE, a statesman who served at many levels of government. The county seat is BARDWELL, incorporated in 1879.
