Bath County, established in 1811, is named for its mineral springs that once attracted visitors seeking relaxation and supposed healing benefits. Known for its rich iron ore deposits, the county was also home to the important Bourbon Iron Works, owned by the influential industrialist Thomas Deye Owings.

Rich in history and natural beauty, Bath County features landmarks such as the majestic Cave Run Lake, historic iron furnaces, and a charming original courthouse. Although its industrial past has faded, the area retains its rural charm and agricultural connections amidst picturesque hills and mountains.
