About Paducah
Paducah, Kentucky, is a city in McCracken County with a population of about 26,894. Settled around 1821 and incorporated in 1838, it was named after the Padouca people. Located where the Tennessee and Ohio rivers meet, Paducah grew as an important river and rail transportation hub. It played a role in the Civil War as a Union supply depot and was affected by a major flood in 1937, leading to the construction of a flood wall. Visitors can explore its historic downtown district, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the National Quilt Museum. Paducah is accessible by rail through VMV Paducahbilt, continuing its railroad legacy. Nearby cities include Evansville and Nashville.
