In 2005, Burnside became the only town in Pulaski County to allow the sale of alcoholic beverages by the drink in qualified establishments. Since then, Burnside annexed several miles of shoreline along Lake Cumberland in order to include Lee's Ford Marina, allowing it to sell alcohol.
On August 28th, 2007 Burnside voters once again passed the sale of alcoholic beverages by the drink in restaurants. The final tally was 227-104 in favor of the sale of alcohol in restaurants that seat at least 100 people and derive at least 70% of the total gross receipts from the sale of food. This vote was started by two Pulaski County clergymen in an attempt to reverse Burnside's "moist" status.
The community was originally settled at the juncture of the Cumberland River and the South Fork River. It was called Point Isabele, allegedly for a woman who jumped off a nearby cliff after breaking off a relationship. In 1890, the town was renamed for American Civil War General Ambrose Burnside who established a camp there during the war.
Burnside was a center for shipping by rail and steamboat packet. ... Read MoreCity Contained By:Timezones:- North American Eastern Time Zone
