North Middletown, Kentucky
North Middletown is a Bourbon county city located on the road to Mount Sterling about nine miles southeast of Paris. Settlement began around 1800 and the village was known as Swinneytown or Swinneyton, for a local miller. It became known as Middletown for its location between Paris, Millersburg, Mount Sterling, and Winchester, but was incorporated as North Middletown in 1818 ("North" was added to distinguish it from the Jefferson county Middletown).
The North Middletown post office opened in 1819.
The population in 2020 was 605.
