Coxs Creek, Kentucky

Routes 31E/150 (known locally as Louisville Road[1]) in Nelson County, Kentucky, United States, 4½ miles north of the county seat of Bardstown.

It is named for Colonel Isaac Cox of Pennsylvania, who built a "fort" (actually an "old time block house") at the site in April 1775 before he fought in the American Revolutionary War, with the help of his brother James.

[4] Kentucky's second Baptist association was formed at Coxs Creek on October 29, 1785.

By the time of the automobiles, the post office and adjacent store blocked the view of upcoming traffic on US-31, forcing the Kentucky Highway Department to order the post office moved from Coxs Creek's crossroads of US-31E/US-150 and Kentucky State Route 509 in the 1960s; the new post office is 1/2 mile south of the crossroads.

[7] Elevations in Coxs Creek range from 650 to 736 feet (224 m) above sea level.
