One witnesses that the history of the Central city is extremely diversified and culturally rich and valuable. Now, this particular community is known as Central city. In 1826, this community was first founded and properly established on similar terms as Morehead’s Horse Mill. Originally it was a 200 acre little village, which was derived from Kentucky County. Later on, in 1873, it was integrated into Stroud city.

Also included are 12-member department of police, six full time and 30 street volunteers for the Fire Department, Sewer, street, water departments.

Central City made many numerous tile infrastructure improvements and has been declared “Kentucky Hall of Faille city”. This city has also won a gold award in Kentucky Certified city’s program. Central City is also taking part in the Kentucky Min Street Program.

One of the major reasons behind Central City’s development is thanks to her favorable, positive location. She is placed on the Green River, and the ultra-modern and hip four lane of Western Kentucky Parkway serves her. Also, there are numerous state highways, who also serve this beautiful city. Central City has been allowed to grow considerably in the aspects of shopping areas and development of industries by the placement of these several roads.
