About Versailles, Kentucky
Versailles is a home rule-class city in Woodford County, Kentucky, United States. Versailles was founded on June 23, 1792, on 80 acres (32 hectares) of land owned by Hezekiah Briscoe, who was, at the time, only a child. In the Inner Bluegrass Region, the area is a center for horse breeding and training, and for thoroughbred and standardbred racehorses and saddlebred pleasure horses. (Wikipedia)
