About Sparta

Sparta is a home rule-class city in Gallatin and Owen counties in the U.S. state of Kentucky. The 2020 census counted 236 residents. Sparta is home to Kentucky Speedway. Sparta began as a village named "Brock's Station" in 1802, and was incorporated as a town in 1852. That mix gives Sparta a clear local shape within Kentucky, with older layers still visible in current places. The local scoop is a place whose streets, landmarks, and institutions keep its earlier story close to the present. The community took its name from the local Sparta gristmill. Sparta is located in southwestern Gallatin County.
