About Paducah
Paducah is a city in McCracken County, Kentucky, with a population of about 27,000. It was first settled around 1821 and officially incorporated in 1838. Located where the Tennessee and Ohio rivers meet, Paducah grew as an important river and rail transportation hub. The city played a role in the Civil War as a Union supply depot and experienced a major flood in 1937, which led to the construction of a flood wall. Paducah is known for its historic downtown district, Civil War history, and quilting heritage, including the National Quilt Museum. It is accessible by rail through VMV Paducahbilt. Nearby cities include Evansville, Nashville, and St. Louis.
