Fleming-Neon, KY

Tucked into the hills of Letcher County, Fleming-Neon is a small eastern Kentucky community with deep roots in the region's coal and timber heritage. Originally two neighboring towns that merged in the 1970s, the city sits along a narrow mountain valley framed by steep, wooded ridges. Daily life is quiet and unhurried, centered around a close-knit community where neighbors know one another.
