* AKA: Philpott, Philpott Station

Philpott and Company, which was made up of Samuel
Clements, John Marcus Wagoner, and Augustus J. Philpott,
bought two acres on the Leitchfield Road in March 1872.
There they built a general store, a house and
a blacksmith shop. In June 1872, a post office
was established and named for Philpott.

In 1875 the name was changed to Philpott’s
Station because it was on the stagecoach line
between Owensboro and Leitchfield. Later the
name was shortened to Philpot. Founder Augustus
Philpott, operated the town’s first grocery
store and ran an unsuccessful race for the
Kentucky House of Representatives in 1875.
By 1874, Philpott had its first physician,
Dr. Samuel J. Harris, and a decade later had
added a flour mill and sawmill. The railroad
from Owensboro to Fordsville was opened
in 1889, and by 1892 the population had increased
to 42 people.

Philpot has never been an incorporated community,
but has continued to grow. The establishment
of Premium Allied Tool Company greatly
increased employment opportunities, and the
area has developed as a residential suburb of
Owensboro. By 2010 Philpot extended for several
miles long KY. 54. It is the current site of the
Lion’s Club County Fairgrounds.
