Gamaliel (/ɡəˈmeɪliəl/) is a home rule-class city in Monroe County, Kentucky, in the United States.

[2] Around 1836, James Crawford and John Hayes saw that a town was springing up and donated 10 acres (4.0 ha) of land, at a point where their farms met, to be used for educational and religious purposes.

In making the grant, the two men stipulated that seven trustees should be appointed to administer the property along the lines provided by the donors.

(In the Book of Acts,[4] the Pharisee appears speaking in favor of recently arrested Christians.)

Kentucky Route 63 leaves town to the northeast with KY 100 but leads south from town to the state line, where it becomes Tennessee State Route 56, which continues to Red Boiling Springs, 9 miles (14 km) south of Gamaliel.

[1] The city sits on a hill between the East Fork of the Barren River to the north and its tributary Line Creek to the south.

The climate in this area is characterized by hot, humid summers and generally mild to cool winters.
