Welcome to Central City - Welcome Signs on Waymarking.com

The history of Central City is rich and varied. The community now known as Central City was first established in 1826 as Morehead's Horse Mill. The original 200 acre village, carved out of "Kentucky County," was later incorporated into Stroud City in 1873. After the arrival of the Owensboro and Russellville Railroad the town's name became Owensboro Junction. In 1882 the town became Central City and was incorporated as a 5th class city. In 1902, Central City's growth required it to move to a 4th class city, where it stands today.

Much of Central City's growth is due to her favorable location. Located on the Green River, Central City is served by the ultra modern four lane Western Kentucky Parkway along with two federal highways, U.S. 62 and U.S. 431. Several state highways also serve Central City, among them include state routes 70, 277, 189, 2103, 603, 604, and other minor roads. The junction of these several roads has allowed Central City to experience considerable growth of her local shopping areas and industrial development.
