Originally established in 1799 as the community of Port William, present day Carrollton [†], Kentucky, located on the Ohio River, has to a great degree retained its historic character. Carrollton is also significant as one of the most intact of Kentucky's early 19th century Ohio River towns. The Carrollton Historic District is a concentrated area containing structures which exhibit outstanding architectural merit, and reflect the full range of Carrollton's development from its early days to the mid-20th century. Prior to Carroll County's establishment, the settlement at the confluence of the KenÂtucky and Ohio rivers was known as PortWilliam. It was named for William Porter, an early settler.
