As of the 2010 census, the population was 46,250.[1] The county seat is Henderson.[2] The county was formed in 1798[3] and named for Colonel Richard Henderson[4] who purchased {{convert|17,000,000|acre|km2}} of land from the Cherokee Indians, part of which would eventually make up the county. Henderson County is part of the Evansville, IN-KY Metropolitan Statistical Area. HistoryHenderson County was established in 1798, using land taken from Christian County.[5] A peninsula across the Ohio from Henderson, which now forms Union Township, Vanderburgh County, Indiana, was the subject of Handly's Lessee v. Anthony, a U.S. Supreme Court case in 1820.[6] An area known as "Green River Island" is part of Kentucky, even though it is on the Indiana side of the Ohio River. The Ellis Park Race Course is located there. A workplace shooting occurred at an Atlantis Plastics factory in Henderson, Kentucky, United States on June 25, 2008. The gunman, 25-year-old Wesley Neal Higdon, shot and killed five people and critically injured a sixth, before taking his own life.[7] The mass murder is the worst in the history of Henderson County, surpassing the triple homicides that took place in 1799 and 1955.[8]GeographyAccording to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of {{convert|466|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|437|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|30|sqmi}} (6.4%) is water.[9] The county's northern border with Indiana is formed by the Ohio River.
