History of Nicholsville
Nicholsville wasn't always called Nicholsville! It was first known as Feetown. This name came from Daniel Fee, who opened the very first store there. The area was planned out and mapped in 1842.
A few years later, in 1847, the area was re-mapped. The name was then changed to Nicholsville. This new name honored Nathan B. Nichols, who became the new owner of the store. A post office, where people could send and receive mail, opened in Nicholsville in 1846. It stayed open for many years, finally closing in 1906.
