Summary: Where In The World is Stop, Kentucky?
Review: Kentucky's founding fathers excelled in making counties, today there are 120 of them in the Bluegrass state. As well they went above and beyond the call of duty when it came to naming the communities in which they lived. Few states if any can boast of a Bugtussle, Monkey's Eyebrow, or even a Thousandsticks among their place names. Rennick's book chronicles these diverse and unique names found in Kentucky. Most of the communities listed include the directions within the county in which they are located, as well as a brief description of how the community got it's name. The book is a valuable asset especially to those interested in the social and economic development of Kentucky and good reading for anyone interested in Kentucky History. By the way Stop is located in Wayne County near the Parnell community and is named for where the road ended or stopped.
