History

Confederate General John Hunt Morgan tore through the area while conducting Morgan's Raid, and General Hylan B. Main Street splits and forms a circle around the town court house, the third incarnation of the structure. Nestled among the rolling foothills of Appalachia and bordered by the Cumberland River to the south and east, it is the county seat of Cumberland County, Kentucky County. Lyon's raids in December 1864 burned seven courthouses, ending with the one in Burkesville on January 3. The population was 1,756 at the 2000 United States Census census.

Burkesville began as a small riverside settlement even before the Iroquois Native Americans in the United States officially sold the land in 1768 to establish Cumberland County.
