About Dry Ridge, KY

The community now known as Dry Ridge was settled about 1792 as "Campbell's Station" near a spring said to have medicinal qualities. A post office called "Dry Ridge" was established in 1815 at an inn. Dry Ridge takes its name from a ridge surrounded by inns where travelers stopped for water before proceeding. In 1909, the city was incorporated, the last incorporated in Grant County. That same year, a creamery company found mineral water which was believed to have medical properties.
