Established in 1808, Herculaneum has long been known for its down home charm, community pride, vibrant business community, and its involved residents.
~ from the City of Herculaneum website

The population was 2,805 at the 2000 census. Herculaneum was laid out by Moses Austin in 1808, and named after the ancient Roman town of Herculaneum, destroyed by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. Austin is said to have chosen the name because the limestone ledges overlooking the Mississippi River resembled a Roman amphitheatre. Lead smelting is still the major industry in this town.
