Covington was a natural place for people to settle. Located on the banks of the Ohio and Licking Rivers; it developed quickly as the urban core of northern Kentucky. Sitting just opposite of Cincinnati; Ohio; it was a great location for travel by both animals and people. Originally owned by Thomas Kennedy; the land was ultimately purchased by Thomas Carneal and John and Richard Gano; and thus the city of Covington was founded in 1815. Not long after its establishment; railroads made Covington their home and many other businesses followed. By 1850; it was the second-largest city in Kentucky. Over its 200 years; Covington has seen many people play a role in its history; development; and reputation. Some are great business and community leaders. Others made tremendous contributions to the arts; and some are notorious. A community is defined more by its people than its buildings and streets. The individuals who have lived and worked in Covington provide a colorful insight into its past. From its founding until the present day; these individuals are a fascinating look into the city�s history.
