Utica, Kentucky

Utica was probably founded in the early 1800s and named after the City of Utica, New York. Mill Street, which is the first side road on KY 140, was named after the flour mill that was located behind JR's Market. The first property on Mill Street was a passenger train station in the late 1800s to early 1900s that ferried people to the river town of Owensboro across the border from Indiana. This cemetery consists of people from the local community as early as the early 1900s but most are from the 1930s and upward. It is still used to this day.
