History

However, when it was discovered in 1885 that both Cummins and Lynn Camp were already in use as names for Kentucky post offices, postmaster James Eaton was asked to select another name. The urbanized area around Corbin extends into Laurel County, Kentucky County; this area, known as North Corbin, Kentucky Corbin, is not incorporated into the city limits, due to a state law prohibiting cities from being in more than two counties. (In a copy of the Corbin-Times Tribune published in 1906, James Eaton is quoted as saying he named the town after James Corbin Floyd,who was "the finest man I know.")(The word, Corbin, itself is derived from the Latin 'corvus', meaning 'raven'; compare French 'corbeau'.) The town was incorporated under that name in 1905. Much of the North Corbin area is served by the city's public services, however. He chose Corbin, perhaps for James Corbin Floyd, a local minister.
