History

Long before the town of Mount Olivet was created, the Battle of Blue Licks was fought in 1783 between Patriot American frontiersmen and pro-British Loyalist-Indian allies. The decisive result of the battle was a major American defeat at the end of the American Revolutionary War.

Mount Olivet was founded in 1820 and incorporated on December 27, 1851. It became the county seat of Robertson County when the county was formed in 1867. The town was subsequently dissolved, then reincorporated on March 18, 1871, by an act of the Kentucky General Assembly. Mount Olivet was classified as a fifth-class city until 2015, when it was reclassified as a home rule–class city.

The 1871 act of incorporation established the town’s boundary as a perfect circle centered on the intersection of Main and Walnut streets with a radius of 120 poles (1,980 ft; 604 m). However, in 1981, the city clarified that the circle has a radius of 2,620 feet (800 m). In 2014, the city annexed 26.38 acres (10.68 ha) of unincorporated territory, consisting of the new Robertson County School and the rights of way of U.S. Route 62 and Kentucky Route 616 leading to the school.
