Location: The Pennyrile region of Kentucky stretches from the Land Between the Lakes in the west across the state to the Pottsville Escarpment in the east. It is a Mississippian plateau with a large karst region that includes Mammoth Cave. The region takes its name from the pennyroyal (Hedeoma puligiodes). from: http://www.uky.edu/KentuckyAtlas/phys-mississippian-plateau.html  

Elizabethtown, the seat of Hardin county, was founded in 1795 and named for the wife of Colonel Andrew Hynes. An earlier settlement there had been known as Severns Valley, for John Severns a local settler and surveyor. The first post office opened in 1804 and may have first been known as Hardin Court House. The population in 1990 was 18,167.
