Nicholasville was named after a Colonel in the Continental Army, George Nicholas, when it was founded in 1798. The city is known for the Young House, built in 1814, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. Being a home rule city, the power of the people is what governs the town, which is a unique way to live.

Do you sometimes feel like you do not have power over your life? Like you are not in charge of what you do or say? This can sometimes be caused by a mental health condition that can be easily treated by one of the dedicated counselors in Nicholasville.
