Auxier, KY

Auxier is a quiet community of around 700 residents sitting along the curves of the Levisa Fork river in eastern Kentucky. Located right at the northern edge of Floyd County, it offers peaceful rural living just six miles north of Prestonsburg. That short drive makes it easy to enjoy a relaxed countryside setting while staying within minutes of the county seat's restaurants, shops, and everyday services.

The town traces its history back to the early 1900s, when it grew as a coal and railroad stop named after the local Auxier family. The Northeast Coal Company helped build the original community, establishing churches, schools, and family homes along the valley floor. Today, Auxier holds on to that close-knit Appalachian character, making it an appealing spot for anyone looking for a quiet riverfront setting with deep local roots.
