Morganfield is a home rule-class city[5] in Union County, Kentucky, in the United States.

The city was named for Revolutionary War General Daniel Morgan, who was awarded a land grant for his military service.

During that war, the camp comprised 36,070 acres (14,600 ha) and could accommodate 2,031 officers and 42,092 enlisted men.

During the Korean War, Camp Breckinridge was the headquarters of the 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division and was used for basic training of newly inducted U.S. Army recruits.

The Associated Press reported on May 22, 2007, that families of displaced residents of the area that became Camp Breckenridge have continued to seek more compensation from the U.S. government for their former properties, claiming they were not given just value.

Former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor was named as a mediator in the dispute in February 2007.

Morganfield is served by the Union County Public Schools, Kentucky.
