Elkton, KY

As the seat of Todd County, Elkton offers a quiet, small-town pace centered around a classic Kentucky courthouse square. Established in 1820, the town took its name from the elk herds that once gathered at a local salt lick, a piece of history you'll still see honored by the elk statue downtown. Between the historic 1835 courthouse, charming older homes, and a welcoming library right on the square, it is an easygoing community with deep roots and plenty of rural charm.
