Somerset was first settled in 1798 by Thomas Hansford and named for Somerset County, New Jersey, where some of its early settlers had lived. It became the seat of Pulaski County in 1801 and was incorporated as a city in 1887. The Civil War Battle of Mill Springs was fought in January 1862 at Logan's Crossroads, now Nancy, about 8 miles west of town, where a museum now stands, and a smaller battle was fought nearby at Dutton's Hill in 1863.
The Southern Railway's tracks were completed in 1875, bringing population growth and industry. In the late 1930s and early 1940s library service in the area came from the Pack Horse Library Project. The completion of Lake Cumberland in 1950 turned Somerset from a sleepy rural community into a recreation center, and the Center for Rural Development, a nonprofit promoting economic development in the region, was founded there in 1996. On the evening of May 16, 2025, an EF4 tornado struck the area, killing one person in Somerset and 17 in neighboring London. Sources Wikipedia: Somerset, Kentucky
