Why the Name Red Hill?
Many years ago, when most of Kentucky’s land was still unexplored and covered in wilderness; a group of railroad workers, constructing tracks westward hit the hardest red clay they’d ever seen. And so the site became known as Red Hill. The workers, as well as the conductors and other workers of the railroad used the name “Red Hill” as a marker of sorts to let the depots know how far they were from arrival.
