About this city
Also known as: The Ark City
Williamstown is a historic, fast-growing highway and resort city serving as the county seat of Grant County, positioned along the vital interstate corridor of north-central Kentucky. Formally established in 1820, the town historically developed as a quiet residential trade center and rail stop within the central Bluegrass agricultural belt. In recent decades, the city has captured massive international pop-culture and faith-based tourism renown as the permanent site for one of the world's largest full-scale timber engineering structures.
