About Monterey

Set along the Kentucky River in Owen County, Monterey is a tiny, peaceful community with deep roots in early American history. James Williams first set up a trading post here in the early 1800s, and the area grew into a charming river town whose historic center is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. With just around a hundred residents, life here is quiet and unhurried, offering scenic rural views and plenty of open space for anyone looking for a relaxed country lifestyle.
