Name changed from Kentucky Presbytery in 1898.

1897
" That all the other counties in the State shall be included in two Presbyteries, and the line between them shall be the northerly lines of Hart, Larue, Taylor, Casey, Pulaski, Rockcastle, Jackson, Owsley, Breathitt, Magoffin, Johnson, and Martin counties. The Presbytery north of this line shall be known as Louisville Presbytery and the Presbytery south of this line as Cumberland Presbytery.

You will notice that the boundaries of Presbyteries by this arrangement correspond in each case with county lines. This will prove a great convenience. By this plan Mayfield, Cumberland and Kentucky Presbyteries remain practically unchanged, except that the name of the latter is changed to Louisville."

1898
"The line between the Louisville and Owensboro Presbyteries is so changed as to place Hardin and Meade Counties in the Owensboro Presbytery. In consequence of this change, Revs. J.W. Eanes, S.D. Scott and Thurmond Richardson, and the following congregations, viz.: Needham, New Union, Mt. Pisgah and White Mills, are transferred to the Owensboro Presbytery." [source: Minutes of Kentucky Synod, October 25-28, 1898, page 6]

1912
"The following Memorial was received from Bethel congregation, Louisville Presbytery, praying that it be admitted into Cumberland Presbytery. The request therein was duly considered by Synod and upon order thereof the whole of the territory occupied by Louisville Presbytery is added to the bounds of Cumberland Presbytery and made part of said Cumberland Presbytery, and it is further ordered that the congregations therein be enrolled with the congregations of Cumberland Presbytery:

To the Synod of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church of Kentucky:
Dear Fathers and Brethren-- We, the Session of Bethel C.P. Church, located in the bounds of Louisville Presbytery of Kentucky, and being the only church that has stood loyal to the Cumberland doctrine, do hereby memorialize your august body to include the bounds of Louisville Presbytery with that of Cumberland Presbytery, that we may be under the care of the aforesaid Presbytery.
By order of Session D. R. TERHUNE, Clerk.
This October 26th, 1912."
