"Saint Charles County"

[edit]

Well, that's what the source says. There never was such a place and the present Charles County was named for Lord Baltimore. The Old Charles County was named after a Saint Charles (Charles I of England) but it was old: it disappeared around a century before these settlers showed up in Kentucky.

It could be the etymology is just wrong or it could be they were from the modern Charles County and just added on a "Saint" reference to make it more Catholic, but either way we'd need a source. — LlywelynII 13:32, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Existence

[edit]

It shows up on maps and is listed by the CoK's SoS's Land Office list as an "active" city, but it certainly doesn't have much data and probably disappeared after the college closed. The Land Office page has some listings for its annexation in 1986... by Lebanon, maybe? (But then why continue to list it as an active city?) — LlywelynII 13:32, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
