==History==
Greenup was laid out from 1803–1804 by Robert Johnson, a pioneer and legislator who owned the land. Upon the formation of Greenup County (named for the former representative and future governor Christopher Greenup) out of land separated from Mason, Johnson's settlement was chosen to be the seat of government and adopted the name Greenupsburg. Its post office was erected on July 1, 1811.〔 Accessed 17 Apr 2009.〕 The state assembly formally established the town on February 4, 1818, and incorporated the city thirty years later on February 29, 1848. The name was shortened to Greenup on March 13, 1872, partially to avoid confusion with Greensburg.〔Commonwealth of Kentucky. Office of the Secretary of State. Land Office. "(Greenup, Kentucky )". Accessed 28 Jul 2013.〕
The Ohio River Flood of 1937 brought devastation to Greenup.
