==History ==

=== Establishment ===
The town's first post office was opened in 1878, named Chinquapin Rough, for the numerous chinquapin and dwarf chestnut trees found along Pond Creek. In 1886 the post office was renamed Annville for resident Nancy Ann Johnson.<ref>{{Cite web| url=https://www.kyatlas.com/ky-annville.html| title=Annville, Kentucky}}</ref> Annville was incorporated in 1988 and dissolved in 2000.

=== Annville Institute ===
In 1909, Rev. William Worthington decided to locate a Reformed Church College in Jackson County, KY. His vision was for some sort of technical school to help promote his vision of "complete living for the mountain people." The beautiful property with its rolling hills and large meadows was purchased and the Annville Institute started that Fall and has served the community in multiple facets ever since. Although the Annville Institute no longer operates as a school, it still benefits the community through its numerous outreach program and facilities.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=Lincoln Hall|url=http://annvilleinstitute.com/lincolnhall.shtml}}</ref>
