City Description

Cloverport is a city in Breckinridge County, Kentucky, United States, on the banks of the Ohio River. The population was 1,256 at the 2000 census. The town was once known as "Joesville," named after its founder, Joe Houston. Founded in 1808 and situated along the Ohio River, Cloverport's past has seen greater economic importance as a port city. In 1816, Cloverport ferryman Jacob Weatherholt piloted the family of Abraham Lincoln, then a lad of seven, along with his parents, Thomas and Nancy, across the Ohio River as the family left Kentucky to move to a newly-acquired farm in Spencer County, Indiana. Cloverport was also the site of a button factory, which made use of shells from the Ohio River. In the eighteenth century, the Victoria Coal Mines produced the world's first coal oil, which was later used to light Buckingham Palace. Former United States Supreme Court Justice Wiley Blount Rutledge was born at nearby Tar Springs on July 20, 1894. Rutledge was the son of the pastor of Cloverport Baptist Church. Cloverport is located at 37°50′3″N 86°37′55″W / 37.83417, -86.63194 (37.834263, -86.632015). According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.7 square
