Winchester, KY is the birthplace of one of America's most celebrated and honored frontiersmen: Daniel Boone. Most famous for his exploration and settlement of modern day Kentucky, Boone rode horseback through the early American countryside, staking claim to territory. After discovering Kentucky in the late 1700s, more than 200,000 early American settlers followed Boone's path to the region.

A municipality within Clark County, Winchester had a population of 18,368 at the 2010 Census. Originally founded in 1793, the city of Winchester was one of the first established American settlements in the Western Frontier. As a result, Winchester had an integral role as one of the first cities in the new state of Kentucky. Although not as large as many cities in Kentucky, Winchester has an important role in the state's economy, particularly the agricultural sector. Located in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains, Winchester is known for its spectacular scenery and an abundance of outdoor activities including great hiking, excellent fishing and even better mountaineering.
