About Jackson, Kentucky
Jackson is a home rule-class city in Breathitt County, Kentucky, United States, and its county seat. Upon the creation of Breathitt County in 1839, local landowner Simon Cockrell Sr. donated 10 acres (4.0 ha) to serve as its seat of government. Jackson is home to numerous festivals. The Breathitt County Honey Festival takes place annually (since 1978) during the Labor Day Weekend. It begins on the Thursday before Labor Day and runs through Labor Day. (Wikipedia)
