On this day 250 years ago, Shawnee Indians attacked a party of settlers three miles away from the newly formed settlement of Harrod’s Town, Virginia, and killed two men. Harrod’s Town (now Harrodsburg) was the first white settlement in what is now the state of Kentucky. It had been founded less than a month earlier by James Harrod but would be temporarily evacuated in the coming weeks with the onset of Dunmore’s War against the Shawnee.
