About Pikeville, Kentucky
Pikeville is a town with around 7,000 people established in 1824. Many buildings on Main Street date back to the turn of the last century. The interiors of the buildings have been modernized; however, the building facades have been kept intact to give this small town the feeling of being almost two centuries old.
Pikeville is in the Appalachian Mountain region of Kentucky. This area is known for Bluegrass music and the infamous feud between the Hatfields and McCoys. These two families fought over a land dispute and a supposedly stolen pig that lasted nearly 30 years from 1863 to 1891. Both families made moonshine during the fighting, which the area is known for. This was one of the contributors to the intensity of this bitter fight. The fighting stopped in 1891; however, it took until June 14, 2003, for the modern-day family descendants to sign an official truce on a television show to officially end the feud.
This legendary fight between mountain families is now memorialized where the fighting occurred, as the Hatfield and McCoy River Trail is located on the Levisa Fork River. Now, families can enjoy a day by the river and visit the site of the original McCoy home, where Randall McCoy supposedly started it all by stealing a pig.
