Henderson community college's roots extend back to the 1960s, when it was founded at the Northwest Extension of the University of Kentucky. Back then, the school opened its doors to only 256 students, who hailed from the counties of Henderson, Union, and Webster. A few years later, the school would gain the name of Henderson Community College while becoming a charter member of the University of Kentucky Community College System.
