History
In May 1820. the county commission chose to use Robert Baker's land as the site of the county seat. He relinquished his stable yard and the surrounding 50 acres (200,000 m2). From August to October, the commission platted the town in blocks and named it as Cadiz. Rennick's Kentucky Place Names repeats the local tradition that a Spaniard in the surveying party successfully suggested his hometown. The book also states that "It was definitely not named for the city in Ohio." The name, however, does not take the Spanish pronunciation.
