Established in Feb., 1818, by an order of Hardin Co. Court on 27 acres land owned by Robt. Hodgen, tavernkeeper and native of Pa. He erected a gristmill on Nolin River, 1789, within protection of Phillips Fort. Hodgenville had its first Post Office in 1826. It was incorporated in 1839 and in 1843, when Larue County was formed, became the seat of government.
