History
The area of present-day Hopkinsville was initially claimed in 1796 by Bartholomew Wood as part of a 1,200-acre (5 km²) grant for his service in the American Revolution. Christian County was the actual birthplace of Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederate States of America, though his birthplace is now part of Todd County, Kentucky. In 1904, tobacco planters formed the Dark Tobacco District Planters' Protective Association of Kentucky and Tennessee in opposition to a corporate monopoly by the American Tobacco Company (ATC) The ATC used their monopoly power to reduce the prices they paid to farmers. Many farmers continued to sell independently or secretly, prompting the association to form a "Silent Brigade" to pressure such farmers into compliance. With societal pressure seeming to fail, the Silent Brigade (probably under Dr. David A. Amoss) organized the Night Riders (not to be confused with the Ku Klux Klan) to terrorize farmers into submission. On December 7, 1907, 250 masked Night Riders seized Hopkinsville's police station and cut off all outside tobacco executives who bought from farmers who were not members of the association. In April of the next year, three warehouses who aided them were burned, and one became a Peace Park. The town was the home of South Kentucky College (est.1849) and Bethel Female College (EST.1854). In 1879, it was purchased by the L&N. Railroad. In 1868, the Evansville, Henderson, and Nashville Railroad was the first to connect Hopkinsville to surrounding cities in 1868.
