Cleaton, KY

Cleaton is a tiny, quiet community in eastern Muhlenberg County, home to fewer than 200 residents. Tucked just off U.S. 431, it offers a peaceful rural setting with quick access to neighboring Drakesboro and Central City. The town got its start around the turn of the twentieth century and was named after the local postmaster’s wife. Today, it remains a relaxed residential pocket surrounded by the gentle hills and waterways of western Kentucky.
