LDS History
The first missionaries known to have visited Kentucky were Samuel H. Smith and Reynolds Cahoon. They passed through the northern part of Kentucky in late June 1831 on their way to Missouri. The first branch organized was at Drury Creek in Campbell County. It was established in April 1834 by Robert Culbertson. The first conference of the Church in Kentucky was held 26 February 1836. By 1900, there were about 1,700 members of the Church in Kentucky. On 1 January 1929, Kentucky was placed in the jurisdiction of the East Central States Mission with headquarters in Louisville. The mission name was changed to the Kentucky Louisville Mission on 20 June 1974.
