Kiddville, Kentucky

Kiddville is a Clark county community near Lulbegrud Creek about 12 miles southeast of Winchester. It was founded in the middle nineteenth century and named for the family of William Burgess Kidd, a settler in the area. An earlier settlement called Kiddville was probably located nearby at the mouth of Combs Branch and may have been the site of a distillery. Kiddville was planned as the seat of proposed new county which was never formed and though it was once a thriving town. It had declined by the end of the nineteenth century.

Kiddville was incorporated in 1852, but was later dissolved.

A Kiddville post office operated from 1842 until 1906.
