Lawrence County

Welcome to Lawrence County – a great place to live, work, play and raise a family! Lawrence County was formed in 1822 and it is located in the Eastern Coal Field region of the state.

Our area is currently experiencing great economic growth as we are seeing the addition of several new industries and companies moving into the area. Throughout this growth and progress, however, Lawrence County still maintains its small town Appalachian charm. It is a place of excitement and potential as well as peace and tranquility. Lawrence County is home to Yatesville Lake State Park and Eagle Ridge Golf Course. We have many fine restaurants in the area that can satisfy your hunger for good down-home cuisine. In the autumn, our hills come alive with color and beauty. (Lawrence County Tourism)
