History

The rise of larger craft like the riverboat required diligent dredge of the riverbed to keep it navigable so far upstream. Nestled among the rolling foothills of Appalachia and bordered by the Cumberland River to the south and east, it is the county seat of Cumberland County, Kentucky County. In 1846 it was incorporated as a city and named Burkesville after Samuel Burk, a prominent citizen leader at that time. Dynamite was used to blast a pass through a spur of that hill, a pass called the Sawmill Cut that is still somewhat dangerous for motorists. Two streets branch off perpendicular to Main: River Street runs straight toward the Cumberland River and provides access to the town's only public boat ramp, while Hill Street immediately begins scaling the Alpine Hill that towers over the city.
