John Graham surveyed a town plat for Prestonsburg. The plat assigned the streets and lots of the first town in the valley that would become the county seat of Floyd County in 1800.
He sold the tract of land for the streets and the alleys and the Old Courthouse Square for $1.00 to the County of Floyd to form Prestonsburg on June 26, 1815.
