About Us

Burkesville is a Kentucky home rule city with a population of 1521.  Burkesville was incorporated as a city in 1846 and was named after Isham Burk, a prominent leading citizen at that time.  

In the nineteenth century when water transportation was feasible, riverboats navigated the Cumberland River which runs through the city providing goods to Burkesville and shipping crops and other manufactured items to other locations.  The river is used today by recreational watercraft.

Notable residents in our area include two former governors of Kentucky, Thomas E. Bramlette & Preston H. Leslie, both born in Cumberland County.   Thomas Lincoln, the father of President Abraham Lincoln our 16th president, served as constable of Cumberland County from 1802-1804. Stanley Carter Pace, a decorated World War II hero and past Chief Executive Officer of both TRW and General Dynamics was born and raised in Burkesville. David L. Williams, former KY State Senator is a resident of Burkesville. He served as a Republican State Senator from 1992 until his retirement in 2011. Judge Williams served as KY State Senate President for an extended term. He is now serving as 40th Circuit Court Judge in Kentucky.
