Germantown was laid out by Whitfield Craig in 1794 and incorporated about that time in Bracken County, Ky., although about half of the town lies in Mason County. It now has about 300 inhabitants, five churches, six stores, three restaurants, two garages, one bank and two hotels. The Masonic Lodge, No. 207, is now 89 years old, having been chartered in 1850. The school system was turned over to the Bracken County Board of Education in 1937 and they, with the aid of the W.P.A. have erected a new building adequate for the needs of the community of four miles radius. Mr. Glass is the present principal of the school. Mr. Charles O. Insko is the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the town, with Messers John J. McNamara, R.L. Wilson, J.W. Stroud, and A.J. Hall constitute the Board of Trustees. Mr. Lloyd A. Rall is Clerk of Germantown.
