Editing South Shore, Kentucky (section)

==History==

South Shore was first settled in 1890 by the Fullerton, Warnock, and the Morton families from the nearby Tygarts Valley. Significant development occurred after the coming of the [[Chesapeake and Ohio Railway]] and George D. Winn's [[ferry]] to [[Portsmouth, Ohio]], in the 1890s. Winn began to petition for a [[post office]] in 1893, and on July 21 the post office was established as "Fullerton", after his brothers Harvey and Harrison Fullerton.<ref name=kye/> The town was [[Municipal corporation|incorporated]] for a short period during 1919.

In 1895, the Taylor [[brickyard]] was established near Fullerton by Clyde King and became the area's top employer. The Taylor name was applied to both the local [[railway station]] and the nearby McCall post office on January 16, 1930. This post office was then renamed "South Shore" on February 4, 1940.<ref name=kye/> Shortly after the city of South Shore was incorporated on July 2, 1957, the Fullerton and South Shore post offices were consolidated under the South Shore name. South Shore eventually annexed the entire city of Fullerton, significantly expanding its boundaries.<ref name=kye>{{cite book |author=Rennick, Robert M. |title=''Kentucky Place Names'' |year=1988 |publisher=The University Press of Kentucky |location=[[Lexington, Kentucky]] |isbn=0-8131-0179-4 |chapter=Place Names}} Retrieved on 2010-04-23</ref>
