Wingo, KY

Wingo is a small, quiet community in Graves County, Kentucky, home to around six hundred people. Located in the western part of the state, it offers a relaxed rural setting where neighbors know each other by name. The town was founded in the mid-1800s around the railroad and named after landowner Jerman Wingo, and that classic small-town character still defines the area today.
