Lewisport, located on U. S. Highway 60 approximately 18 miles east of Owensboro, Kentucky was laid out on land donated by James and John Prentis. Originally called “Little Yellow Banks,” it was named in honor of a very early settler, Mr. John Lewis.
The Ohio River, an important factor in the growth and development of Lewisport was the primary means of transportation in the early beginning of the town. The river is used primarily for commercial industry and for recreation.
Lewisport boasts a strong industrial base with a major tile company, trucking business, metal fabrication business and entrepreneurial businesses found in the community. Heritage--Progress--Hospitality is the formal motto for the city. Informally, we believe “Every Day is a Good Old Day in Lewisport.”
