Where Dixie Begins
City of Hickman
Hickman, county seat of Fulton County, Kentucky, was originally settled in 1819 as Chicken Point, the name was later changed to Mills Point and finally Hickman. One of Mark Twain's favorite towns on the river, Hickman, once a cotton town, was quoted as being unsurpassed by any town in Western Kentucky at the turn of the century.
