Webster County

Webster County lies in the Western Coal Field region of Kentucky and includes both farmland and water bodies. The area is administered through five incorporated cities, with Dixon serving as the county seat.

The county was formed in 1860 from portions of Henderson, Hopkins, and Union Counties. It was named after Daniel Webster, an influential American statesman.

The area preserves rural traditions through local festivals and community gatherings that shape how residents connect. These events bring people together to celebrate their farming heritage and shared customs.

The county has various shops and services spread across its different towns. Visitors will find schools, medical facilities, and local businesses that support daily life.

Since 2018, only certain towns like Providence, Sebree, and Clay allow alcohol sales, while other communities follow stricter rules. These different regulations reflect the diverse values of local communities.
