Whitley County was
formed in 1818 and named for
Col. William Whitley. The county was
formed
from Knox Co. Ky. and borders Tennessee
on the South side. The county has two
incorporated towns called Corbin, which
is the largest of the two, and
Williamsburg which is the county seat and
was originally called Whitley Courthouse.
With a landscape of steep hills and
mountains, lumber and coal have been the
county's main livelihood and production
through the years. Covering thousands of
miles are the Daniel Boone National
Forest which aid in making this county
one of the most beautiful places to see
every season of the year.
