Cloverport is a home rule-class city〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Summary and Reference Guide to House Bill 331 City Classification Reform )〕 in Breckinridge County, Kentucky, United States, on the banks of the Ohio River. The population was 1,152 at the 2010 census.
==History==
The town was once known as Joesville after its founder, Joe Huston. Established around 1798〔Kleber, John E. (book ).〕〔Rennick, Robert M. ''(Kentucky Place Names )''. The University Press of Kentucky (Lexington), 1988. ISBN 0-8131-0179-4.〕 (or possibly 1808), the town was the site of the ferry where, in 1816, Jacob Weatherholt piloted the family of Abraham Lincoln, then seven, across the Ohio River on its way to a newly acquired farm in Spencer County, Indiana.
The town was renamed Cloverport in 1828 after nearby Clover Creek.〔 The town was the site of a button factory, which made use of mussel shells from the Ohio. In the nineteenth century, the Victoria Coal Mines (named in honor of the British queen) produced coal oil from cannel coal that was used to light Buckingham Palace. The town was formally incorporated by an act of the state assembly in 1860.〔
Former United States Supreme Court Justice Wiley Blount Rutledge was born at nearby Tar Springs on July 20, 1894. Rutledge was the son of the pastor of Cloverport's Baptist church.
