Huntertown, Kentucky

Huntertown is in Woodford County, Kentucky.[1] It was established by a veteran of the American Civil War who was African American.[2] There is a Huntertown Elementary School nearby.

The Bluegrass Parkway was constructed through Huntertown, splitting it, and worsened flooding issues. Residents were paid to move elsewhere in 2003. A commemorative marker recounts the settlement's history.[1]
