Booneville

Booneville combines the working role of an Owsley County seat with the quiet scale of an Appalachian river town, reflecting its position in the hill country of eastern Kentucky. The community stands on the South Fork of the Kentucky River, amid the ridges and narrow valleys typical of this part of the state. Owsley County was created in 1843, and Booneville has long served as its administrative centre; the town’s name commemorates frontiersman Daniel Boone. Rather than a major urban stop, it supports surrounding rural communities, where roads follow the folds of the terrain and forest remains a defining presence.
