Discreet 24/7 Biohazard Remediation in Williamstown, KY

Williamstown is a home rule-class city in northern Kentucky and the county seat of Grant County.

Although Williamstown is the Grant County seat, its city limits extend northeast along Falmouth Road and East Fairview Road far enough to enter neighboring Pendleton County, so the city spans two counties.

Williamstown was founded in 1820, when Revolutionary War veteran William Arnold, who had settled in the area in 1795, offered land for the Grant County seat; the town was named after him and incorporated in 1825.

The Cincinnati Southern Railway was built through the county in 1877, and Williamstown's population jumped from 281 in 1870 to 751 in 1880.

Williamstown Lake, a reservoir created in 1957 on the South Fork of Grassy Creek, lies in the northeast part of the city and is a centerpiece of local recreation.

Since 2016, Williamstown has been home to the Ark Encounter, a Christian theme park operated by Answers in Genesis whose centerpiece is a full-scale, 510-foot-long wooden interpretation of Noah's Ark.

As of the 2020 census, Williamstown had a population of 3,894, living in 1,337 households and 1,527 housing units, with a median age of 36.0 years.

Williamstown grew rapidly around the turn of the 21st century, from 3,227 residents in 2000 to 3,925 in 2010 before easing slightly to 3,894 in 2020.

The city covers about 17 square miles, an unusually large area for a Kentucky city of its size, in part because of the annexed corridor toward the Ark Encounter site.

Interstate 75 passes through the west side of Williamstown, with access at Exits 154 and 156, putting the city about 37 miles south of Cincinnati and 45 miles north of Lexington; U.S. Route 25 runs through the center of town as Main Street.
