Summary

Description

Grayson is a city in and the county seat of Carter County, Kentucky, United States, in the state's northeastern region. The population was 4,217 at the 2010 census. The city is part of the Huntington-Ashland WV-KY-OH Metropolitan Area in which Grayson serves as a suburb to nearby Ashland, Kentucky. Interstate 64 and the AA Highway converge in Grayson making the city a gateway to the Huntington-Ashland urban area.

After the Revolutionary War, George Washington's aide-de-camp Col. William Grayson received a 70,000-acre (280 km2) tract of land for his service during the war from the state of Virginia. By 1838, a small portion of this tract was set aside for the development of a town named for him. Although Grayson had only five streets and eighty lots, it was established by the General Assembly on February 6, 1844, and it was incorporated on February 22, 1860.
