About Nortonville

Nortonville is a quiet small town of under a thousand people in western Kentucky's Hopkins County. Originally founded as a bustling railroad junction where U.S. Routes 41 and 62 meet, it gives residents a peaceful, slow-paced lifestyle while keeping them an easy drive from shopping and jobs in nearby Madisonville. You can still see plenty of local history around town, right down to City Hall operating out of a repurposed 1930s high school building. It is a practical, welcoming spot for anyone looking for affordable housing and a close-knit rural community.
