The History of Lake Cumberland
Lake Cumberland was created in 1952 when the Wolf Creek Dam was completed. The dam impounds the Cumberland River and creates a reservoir that is over 100 miles long and covers over 50,000 acres. Lake Cumberland is the largest lake in Kentucky and one of the largest in the United States.
The area around Lake Cumberland has been inhabited for thousands of years. Native Americans were the first to live in the area, and they were followed by European settlers in the 18th century. The area was heavily forested, and logging was a major industry in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
The construction of the Wolf Creek Dam brought major changes to the area around Lake Cumberland. The dam flooded thousands of acres of land, and many people were forced to relocate. However, the dam also brought new opportunities to the area. Tourism and recreation became major industries, and the lake became a popular destination for fishing, boating, and swimming.
The People of Lake Cumberland
The people of Lake Cumberland are a diverse group of people who come from all walks of life. There are farmers, fishermen, boaters, retirees, and people who simply love the beauty of the lake. The people of Lake Cumberland are proud of their community and their way of life.
One of the most interesting things about the people of Lake Cumberland is their resilience. The area has been hit by several major floods over the years, but the people have always rebuilt and recovered. The floods have brought the people of Lake Cumberland together, and they have made them stronger.
The Events of Lake Cumberland
Lake Cumberland has been the site of many important events over the years. In 1957, the lake was the site of a major boat race that was attended by thousands of people. In 1964, the lake was the site of a major flood that caused widespread damage. In 1972, the lake was the site of a major fish kill that killed millions of fish.
Despite these challenges, Lake Cumberland has remained a popular destination for tourists and recreationists. The lake is a beautiful place to visit, and it offers a wide variety of activities for people of all ages.
Around Lake Cumberland: Images of America is a beautiful and informative book that captures the history, the people, and the events of Lake Cumberland. The book is a must-read for anyone who loves Lake Cumberland or who is interested in the history of Kentucky.
