==History==
The town was once known as '''Joesville''' after its founder, Joe Huston.  Established around 1798<ref name=klebtomaniac>{{cite book | first=John E. | last=Kleber | title=The Kentucky Encyclopedia | publisher=The University Press of Kentucky | issue=v. 1 | year=1992 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8eFSK4o--M0C&dq=joe+huston+cloverport&pg=PA122 | isbn=0-8131-1772-0 |access-date=July 5, 2023 | page=122}}</ref><ref name=reeeeen>Rennick, Robert M.

The town was the site of the [[ferry]] where, in 1816, Jacob Weatherholt piloted the family of [[Abraham Lincoln]], then seven, across the [[Ohio River]] on its way to a [[Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial|newly acquired farm]] in [[Spencer County, Indiana]].<ref>{{Cite web| url=https://www.kentuckyliving.com/archives/no-title-1783| title=No title, Supplement to ''Rollin' Down the River''| date=April 2008| publisher=Kentucky Living| access-date=February 12, 2019}}</ref>

Around 1820 a building was constructed that became the town's first school and was shared by the [[Baptist]] and [[Methodist]] congregations as a church on Sundays.  The town's first graveyard, known as the Scott Cemetery, was beside this building which was located south of present  Murray Avenue and east of Cherry Street.<ref name = USGenWeb>{{cite web|last1=Haviland|first1=Robert|last2=Brown|first2=Dana|url=http://www.kykinfolk.com/kyfootsteps/files/CHURCHES/Cloverport.UMC.Breckinridge.CHURCH.txt|title=Cloverport UMC History|publisher=USGenwWeb Archives|date=September 16, 1990|access-date=May 15, 2023}}</ref>

The town was renamed Cloverport in 1828 after nearby Clover Creek.  Seven years before, in 1821, the [[Kentucky Legislature]] had built a toll road between the town and [[Bowling Green, Kentucky|Bowling Green]].<ref name=klebtomaniac/>  1828 also saw the town open a post office with George LaHeist as post master.<ref name =ms>{{Cite web| url=https://scholarworks.moreheadstate.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=https://www.google.com/&httpsredir=1&article=1040&context=rennick_ms_collection| title=Breckinridge County (Rennick Collection)| publisher=Morehead State University| access-date=February 13, 2019}}</ref>

In 1829, the Baptist congregation built their own church.  In 1831, a new graveyard, known as the Murray Graveyard, was established on the north side of Main Street near the Cherry Street intersection.  The Methodist congregation built their own church in 1840 on east Huston Street.  The old building then became a church for the town's black residents.  The Methodist moved again in 1871 to a site on Elm Street.<ref name=USGenWeb/>

The town was the site of a button factory, which made use of [[mussel]] shells from the Ohio. In the nineteenth century, the Victoria Coal Mines (named in honor of the [[Queen Victoria|British queen]]) produced [[coal oil]] from [[cannel coal]] that was used to light [[Buckingham Palace]].

In 1857, the first [[Roman Catholic]] church, [[St. Malachi]], was built on Chestnut Street south of Huston Street.  In 1887, a new church was built and named [[St. Rose of Lima]] across the railroad tracks from the old St. Malachi church.  The church and rectory were both burned in 1894 and rebuilt at their present locations.<ref name="75Years"/><ref name="Diocese"/>
  
The town was formally incorporated by an act of the [[Kentucky Assembly|state assembly]] in 1860<ref name=reeeeen/> and expanded to take in the growing number of homes on the west side of Clover Creek.<ref name = ms/>  Land was also donated that year for a [[Presbyterian]] church at the corner of Main Street and Lynn Street.  A church was never built there but in 1889 the property was exchanged for land on east Main Street where a church was built.<ref name=USGenWeb/>

The town had its own newspaper beginning on July 17, 1878.  The ''Breckenridge News'' was started by John D. Babbage and run by his family until 1950 when it was sold to George and Edith Wilson.  The Wilsons merged the paper with their other newspaper, the ''Irvington Herald'', and formed the ''Breckinridge County Herald-News'' in 1956.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn86069309/|title=About The Breckenridge news.

In 1892 Cloverport became the home of the maintenance shops for the Louisville, Henderson, and St. Louis Railroad.  The town raised $20,000 to bring the shops and donated ten acres for the location.<ref name = ln>{{cite book |last=Herr |first=Kincaid A. |title=The Louisville and Nashville Railroad, 1850-1963 |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AJ8eBgAAQBAJ&pg=PA174 |chapter=XXV Y's and Otherwise |publisher=The University Press of Kentucky |location=[[Lexington, Kentucky]] |year=2000 |page=174 |isbn=978-0-8131-9318-2}}</ref><ref name = ra>{{cite magazine|date=February 13, 1941|volume=90|number=7|magazine=Railway Age|title=Cloverport Protests Loss of Shops|page=381|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yJklAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA381}}</ref>  The shops employed two hundred men at one time.<ref name = ch>{{cite web|url=http://www.cloverport.com/history/history-of-cloverport/|title=History of Cloverport|publisher=Cloverport.com}}</ref>  The shop burned down on March 13, 1916, but was rebuilt.<ref>{{cite news |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title=RAILROAD SHOPS WILL BE REBUILT; WORK BEGINS ON OLD SITE.|url=https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn86069309/1916-05-03/ed-1/seq-1/ocr/|newspaper=The Breckenridge News|location=Cloverport, Kentucky|date=May 3, 1916|access-date=January 16, 2019}}</ref>  The shops stayed open until 1929 when the Louisville, Henderson and St. Louis was bought out by the [[Louisville and Nashville Railroad]].<ref name = ln/>  The city and railroad company went to [[United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky|federal court]] in [[Louisville, Kentucky|Louisville]] with the city trying to force the shops to stay open or for the railroad to pay the city back the original $20,000 that was raised for the shops plus $30,000 in interest.<ref name = ra/>  The dispute was settled out of court with the railroad paying back the original $20,000 plus returning the ten acres of land to the city.  The city turned the land into an athletic park and a waste treatment facility.

Former [[United States Supreme Court]] Justice [[Wiley Blount Rutledge]] was born at nearby [[Tar Springs, Kentucky|Tar Springs]] on July 20, 1894. Rutledge was the son of the pastor of Cloverport's Baptist church.

On March 13, 1901, a fire swept through the city leaving about half of the residents homeless and destroying almost all of the business buildings, including two full [[American Tobacco Company]] warehouses.  The Lucille Memorial Presbyterian Church, whose congregation had just paid off the mortgage, was burned down as was the Methodist church.  Damage was estimated to be over $500,000 in the city.<ref>{{cite news |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title=Whole Town Wiped Out|url=https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn82016014/1901-03-14/ed-1/seq-1/|newspaper=The Topeka State Journal|location=Topeka, Kansas|date=March 14, 1901|access-date=January 17, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title=MADE HOMELESS BY FIRE.; A Thousand People in a Kentucky Town Left Without Shelter by a $500,000 Blaze|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1901/03/15/archives/made-homeless-by-fire-a-thousand-people-in-a-kentucky-town-left.html|newspaper=The New York Times|location=New York, New York|date=March 15, 1901|access-date=January 17, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine|date=March 20, 1901|volume=LXXII|number=12|magazine=Herald and Presbyter|title=Miscellaneous|page=15|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=qmUc_yb633YC&pg=RA11-PA15|access-date=May 10, 2023}}</ref><ref name=USGenWeb/>

Another fire struck Cloverport on March 14, 1910, and destroyed many homes on the east side of town.  At the time, the closest fire truck was in [[Owensboro]] and men from the Louisville, Henderson, and St. Louis Railroad repair yard were credited with saving many homes.<ref>{{cite news |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title=Disastrous Fire Again Visits Old Cloverport |url=https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn86069309/1910-03-16/ed-1/seq-1.pdf|newspaper=The Breckenridge News|location=Cloverport, Kentucky|date=March 16, 1910|access-date=January 17, 2019}}</ref>

The Methodist church on Elm Street burned down in 1943.  Two years later the congregation moved into a renovated building at the intersection of Main Street and Elm Street and was named Grant Memorial Church for their minister, Rev. W. A. Grant.  In 1971, Grant Memorial's congregation merged with Lucille Memorial Presbyterian church and the [[Evangelical United Brethren Church]] to form Cloverport United Methodist Church.  This combined congregation purchased land for their new building in 1972 at their current site on south Elm Street.<ref name=USGenWeb/>

Every August the town sponsors a festival named for [[Sacajawea]] who is purported to have stopped in the town during her journeys.<ref name=klebtomaniac/>

In 2003, the [[National Park Service]] transferred the Cloverport Access Site to the city so that a community riverfront park could be developed.  The property included the boat ramp on Clover Creek and 15.7 acres of property.<ref>{{cite magazine|date=October 2003|volume=15|number=5|magazine=Association of State Flood Plain Managers News & Views|title=State and Local Report: Cloverport, Kentucky, Gets River Park|page=8|url=https://www.floods.org/Newsletters/News_Views/NV_October03.pdf}}</ref>

===Flooding===
Being a river town, Cloverport has been subjected to several floods since its founding.  The [[Floods in the United States before 1901#Ohio River flood – February 1884|Ohio River Flood of 1884]] had been what all other floods which have struck the city were compared to until 1937.  A flood in January 1907 crested at two feet below the 1884 high water mark.<ref>{{cite news |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title=Since '84 - River Has Not Been Known to Have Reached Such a High Stage|url=https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn86069309/1907-01-23/ed-1/seq-1/|newspaper=The Breckenridge News|location=Cloverport, Kentucky|date=January 23, 1907|access-date=January 18, 2019}}</ref>  The city was also struck by the [[Great Flood of 1913]].  The Phelps' Button factory flooded leaving many out of work and many other families were forced to leave their homes.  It was reported that the flood waters were seven feet over the Tar Fork bridge and neck deep on a horse at Hites Run.  All of the homes across the river in [[Tobinsport, Indiana]] were under water.<ref>{{cite news |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title=Reaps A Harvest - Great Loss Of Life And Property|url=https://archive.org/stream/xt70zp3vw35v/xt70zp3vw35v_djvu.txt|newspaper=The Breckenridge News|location=Cloverport, Kentucky|date=April 2, 1913|access-date=January 18, 2019}}</ref>  The [[Ohio River flood of 1937]] saw seventy percent of the town's residents hit by the flood waters.<ref>{{cite news |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title=Chandler Eyes Flood Damage In Four Towns|url=https://courier-journal.newspapers.com/clip/5006449/the_courierjournal/|newspaper=The Courier-Journal|location=Louisville, Kentucky|date=February 9, 1937|access-date=February 11, 2019}}</ref>  The crest of the flood at the downstream [[Cannelton Locks and Dam]] was measured at 60.8 feet.
