The urbanized area around Corbin extends into Laurel County, Kentucky County; this area, known as North Corbin, Kentucky Corbin, is not incorporated into the city limits, due to a state law prohibiting cities from being in more than two counties. However, when it was discovered in 1885 that both Cummins and Lynn Camp were already in use as names for Kentucky post offices, postmaster James Eaton was asked to select another name.
