Glomawr, Kentucky

Glomawr is a Perry county community about four miles southeast of Hazard on the North Fork of the Kentucky River at Raccoon Creek. A mine was established by the East Tennessee Coal Company circa 1914 and named Glomawr, from a Welsh word for coal, and the town was built to support it. The population reached about 1,000 by the 1940s, but the dwindled after the mine closed.

The Glomawr post office opened in 1915 and closed in 1954.
