The City of Sadieville was incorporated in the year 1880 and named for Mrs. Sadie Pack, one of the most highly honored citizens of Scott County.
The city is built around Eagle Creek and on a railway that was once the greatest and most lucrative in the south. As a shipping point, Sadieville was without a doubt, one of the best on the Southern Road. In 1904, there were 216 cars of stock, logs, and tobacco shipped which amounted to thousands of dollars. Over $13,000 worth of rabbits, hides, produce, etc., were shipped by Sadieville merchants in 1904. Sadieville was the largest market for shipping yearling mules and colts in the country, and the firm Burgess and Gano purchased most all of the mules and colts in Sadieville and from there they were shipped to many points in the state of Georgia.
The young mules and colts would be kept in corrals out in the country, until three or four hundred of them had been delivered by the stock raisers and then drivers would each get on horseback in front, at the side, and in the rear of the drove, and drive them to the stockyards in Sadieville which was alongside the railroad tracks. Two or three men would always go along the road in advance, and notify the residents that the “mules were coming”. They really raised a thick cloud of dust but at least the youngsters enjoyed it. Dust was, at times, as bad as a heavy fog.
Debra Stamper was born in Cynthiana then attended Sadieville Elementary School and graduated from Scott County High School in the class of 1985. She married a Lexington boy and moved him back to Sadieville in 1996. She lives with her husband Raymond, son Tim, Scruffy the dog, and cats. She is proud of her hometown and has been working hard to make Sadieville pretty, with lots of space for fun and recreation! She will be following the State of Kentucky’s recommendation for opening all parks in the city limits. Currently, all spaces are being pressure washed and disinfected with bleach to be clean and ready for opening.
