On December 7, 1776, the Virginia General Assembly approved legislation introduced by Thomas Jefferson on October 26, 1776, which divided Fincastle County into three new counties: Kentucky, Washington and Montgomery. The legislation was signed into law by Virginia Governor Patrick Henry. When the legislation became effective on December 31, 1776, Fincastle County ceased to exist.
