History: The county was created in 1821 and Louisville ( which is now in Barbour County ) was selected as the county seat. The first court met at the home of Andrew Townsend in Louisville. The county seat was moved to Monticello in 1827 and the first courthouse was a log structure built in 1828 and later torn down in 1839. The county seat was moved in 1837 to Troy, known as Deer Stand Hill. The court met in local stores until the second courthouse was built in 1837. The courthouse was torn down in 1880 and replaced by an opera house which was also torn down at a later date. The third courthouse was a brick two story structure designed by Ferris and constructed by Joseph Minchener built in 1880 to 1881 and expanded in 1898. The architect was R L Jones and the contractor was McAfee & Company. The fourth and present courthouse was constructed in 1951 to 1952. The County Judicial Building was constructed in 2021 to 2023.
