Tomahawk, Kentucky

It is located on Rockhouse Fork of Rockcastle Creek, approximately six miles (9.6 km) west of Inez, the county seat.

But the community retained its name, Zip Code (41262) and some services after it was designated as Kentucky's first Village Post Office.

A large mine-supply company in the community, Banks-Miller Supply, closed in late September 2018.

Tomahawk became briefly notorious on February 8, 1933, after a local family ritually murdered their mother following a church revival under the mistaken belief they could bring her back to life in three days.

Accounts of this incident and subsequent trial were published nationally and internationally, Associated Press articles show.
