A Paint Lick Station was referred to in United States Army dispatches as early as 1780.[citation needed] The site was named for tribal art painted on the debarked trees near a local salt lick when the first white settlers arrived and was originally part of a 19,050-acre (7,710 ha) tract belonging to George Lewis.[1] The trading post was purchased by Henery Dixon from North Carolina in 1812 and laid out as the town of Paint Lick Station in 1826.[1] The town was formally established under that name in 1834,[2] although the post office was probably named Paint Creek.[1] It was incorporated as a city under its present name of Paintsville in 1843,[2] the same year it became the county seat of Johnson County.
