Williamstown: City close, Country Quiet

Williamstown is located in Northern Kentucky.  Williamstown has a small town charm but it is close to urban hubs; just off of I-75, halfway between Lexington and Cincinnati.  It is only a 36 minute drive to the  Greater Cincinnati International Airport.  

The City of Williamstown was founded in 1820 and is Grant County’s county seat. Williamstown’s 2008 population estimate is 3,533; Grant County’s is 25,549.

Although we are a small rural community, Williamstown has remained progressive.  The City of Williamstown public works consists of Water, Sewer, Electric, Street, Cable, Broadband and Wireless Broadband.  Due to growth and unavailable amenities, the City is currently expanding its utilities to provide service to Grant County and the surrounding region. 

Williamstown Cable offers reliable high definition digital programming and broadcasts two public access channels hosting it own regional talk show, “Raising Grant County.” 

Historic Downtown Williamstown hosts an annual community festival, the "Derby Day Celebration," to celebrate Kentucky heritage.  This old fashioned festival includes a car show, contests, talent contests, pageants, music, rides and live entertainment; join us the first Saturday in May.

Williamstown has two public parks, J.B. Miller and Webb Park, equipped for activities such as, tennis, volleyball, fishing, baseball, basketball and private parties.     

The City’s water reservoir is a public 330 acre recreational lake, Lake Williamstown.  In a partnership with Grant and Pendleton County, future lake expansion efforts are occurring.

The Williamstown Police Department patrols the City streets and Lake Williamstown to ensure the public safety.  And the Williamstown Fire Department is well equipped to response to emergencies.   

The City is also home of the Williamstown Independent School District, a 2009 US News and World Report Bronze Metal High School.  Also, among other things, Williamstown is home to the County Courthouse, Public Library, and the Grant County Fair Grounds.

Williamstown is a friendly community and easy to find; take exit 156, Barnes Road or exit 154 off I-75 and experience our small town charm.
