Simon Kenton
April 13, 1755 - April 29, 1836
Simon Kenton, for whom Kenton
County is named, stands with
Daniel Boone and George Rogers
Clark as a leading figure in the
opening of the West. Kenton entered
Kentucky in 1771 as a longhunter and
gained a reputation for bravery and
leadership in battles that led to the
settlement of Kentucky and Ohio. The
Shawnee called him "Cut-ta-ho-tah",
the condemned one. near this spot in
1782, Kenton agreed with his pioneer
soldiers to meet again in 50 years to
recall past battles and hardships.
However, a cholera epidemic inter-
vened. In 1832, and, in Kenton's
words, "the fifty year meeting died
before it was born."
