Calvert City, Kentucky
Calvert City is a home rule-class city in Marshall County, Kentucky, United States. The population was 2,514 at the 2020 census. History Calvert City was named for Potilla Willis Calvert.

''Kentucky Place Names'', p. 46. University Press of Kentucky (Lexington), 1987. Accessed 24 July 2013. That station served as the starting point of the town, which was incorporated on March 18, 1871. The railroad station and post office long favored the shorter Calvert, but the Board on Geographic Names reversed its earlier decision in 1957 and switched to the longer form. By 1896, Calvert City was known as a sundown town, where African Americans were not allowed to reside. By 1908, the rest of Marshall County had also expelled its African American residents. During the Ohio River flood of 1937, Calvert City's busi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |
