History of Aberdeen
Aberdeen was first started by James Edwards in 1795. It was officially mapped out, or platted, by Nathan Ellis in 1816. This means they drew up plans for streets and building lots. The village became an official town on July 5, 1816.
Aberdeen was an important stop on Zane's Trace. This was an early road through the Northwest Territory, finished in 1797. Today, Aberdeen is connected to Maysville, Kentucky by two bridges. These are the Simon Kenton Memorial Bridge and the William H. Harsha Bridge. The Harsha Bridge is a modern cable-stayed bridge, completed in 2001.
