History

The city is also actively working on a downtown renaissance plan to rejuvenate its business district. Clinton's wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton visited Hazard on November 2, 2008 at a political rally for Democratic Party (United States) United States Senate Senate candidate Bruce Lunsford. Previously, the only ways in or out of the valley were 45 miles down the North Fork of the Kentucky River, or a 2-week trip over the surrounding mountains.

The town of Hazard, as well as Perry County, is named after United States Navy Navy Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, known for his victory report during the War of 1812 stating, "We have met the enemy and they are ours." A post office named Perry Court House was established in the area in the 1820s, though some reports note that locals had always referred to the area as "Hazard".
