GREENER PASTURES and INCUBATING ART
- THE BOYD PROJECT
- Boyd, Kentucky
- This blog is the starting point. A blank canvas. If you are viewing this blog, you probably have been directed here to offer advice and ideas for making the properties and farm in Boyd into something special.
Boyd, Kentucky
Boyd Station, an early Kentucky settlement on the South Fork of the Licking River, 11 ½ miles NNW of the current day city of Cynthiana, the county seat of Harrison County.
On December 8, 1854, on the site of a watermill built by Whitehead Coleman in 1810, Thomas Boyd established a trading post which he named Boyd’s Station in honor of Andrew Boyd, Sr., an early Kentucky settler. Within a short time it became a coal and water supply station on the Covington and Lexington railroad and the village grew up around the station. In 1880, the outpost became simply Boyd, which name it bore until it closed.
