History

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. Founded in 1808 and situated along the Ohio River, Cloverport's past has seen greater economic importance as a port city. In the eighteenth century, the Victoria Coal Mines produced the world's first coal oil, which was later used to light Buckingham Palace. Rutledge was the son of the pastor of Cloverport Baptist Church. The population was 1,256 at the 2000 United States Census census.

The town was once known as "Joesville," named after its founder, Joe Houston.
