Bagdad
is a small community located in Shelby County in the rolling hills of north-central Kentucky. It sits at the intersection of Kentucky routes 12 and 395. Bagdad is the hometown of former Kentucky governor, Martha Layne Collins, the only female governor of the state, so far. Nestled in the heart of the Bluegrass Country of Kentucky, this region is known as the "Saddlebred Capital of the World." Fields abound with hundreds of beautiful horse farms and agricultural farms.

Bagdad is also just a short drive to Guist Creek Lake and Marina, which offers 325 acres of the highest-quality fishing in the state of Kentucky. The town of Bagdad is about one hour from both Lexington and Louisville, Kentucky.
