About Centertown

Centertown is a quiet, close-knit community of about 400 residents in western Ohio County. The town got its name in the late 1800s from its location halfway between the county seat of Hartford and the old Green River shipping port at Point Pleasant. Today, it serves as a peaceful rural crossroads along Kentucky Routes 69 and 85, making it an easy drive to neighboring hubs like Hartford, Beaver Dam, and Central City for groceries, dining, and daily errands.

Families with young children benefit from having Western Elementary School right along Route 85 in town, with older students attending middle and high school in Hartford through the Ohio County School District. Daily life is centered around a quiet Main Street with local churches, the community park, and municipal offices. For prospective buyers looking for a low-key rural setting, Centertown offers affordable space and small-town tranquility within easy reach of regional jobs.
