Calloway County became Kentucky's seventy-second county in 1822. Wadesboro was established as the county seat and served in that capacity until 1842. Marshall County separated from Calloway County in 1842 and a new county seat for Calloway County was needed. The county seat was moved in 1844 to Murray, a site located near the center of the county.
