Pikeville, Regional center in Pike County, Kentucky.
The city stands at 207 meters elevation in eastern Kentucky, surrounded by mountains with the Pikeville Cut-Through engineering project modifying the landscape.
Founded in 1824 as Pike, renamed Pikeville in 1850, the city developed from a small settlement into a regional hub during the coal mining expansion.
The Appalachian Moonshine, Music & Makers Festival gathers local artisans, musicians, and food vendors to celebrate Kentucky mountain traditions each year.
The downtown area provides multiple parking options, including free spots and timed zones, with easy access to shops, restaurants, and the University of Pikeville.
The Pikeville Cut-Through Project moved 18 million cubic yards of earth between 1973 and 1987 to control flooding and improve traffic flow.
