About Martin

Tucked along Beaver Creek in Floyd County, Martin is a quiet eastern Kentucky town with deep roots in the region's coal mining heritage. Home to around 500 people, the community offers a relaxed, small-town setting among the rolling Appalachian hills. Everyday life here is peaceful and low-key, but getting around is straightforward. Kentucky Routes 80 and 122 link the town directly to U.S. 23 and nearby Prestonsburg, putting larger stores, healthcare, and dining just a short drive away.
