Ferguson is a home rule-class city just south of downtown Somerset in Pulaski County, Kentucky, United States.
[3] The city was originally constructed just north of the Cincinnati Southern Railroad's engine repair shops as a residential community for its workers.
In 1950, the Logan Co. post office was closed and the Board on Geographic Names approved the use of Ferguson for the Pulaski community's mail.
[5] The railroad shops were specialized for work with steam engines and were shuttered after trains began using diesel locomotives in the mid-20th century.
[6] Ferguson School opened in 1910 for grades 1–12 to serve the children of the town and the rural area just south and east.
[7] The property of the former school grounds is now the Ferguson Park, and the buildings house community center offices and recreational facilities.
