Vanceburg, Lewis County, Kentucky, USA

Vanceburg is a city in northeastern Kentucky and the seat of Lewis County. It lies at the meeting of Salt Lick Creek and the Ohio River. The settlement was established by Joseph Vance and Moses Baird, and salt production shaped its early growth. The Ohio River provided a landing and transportation route for the community. Severe flooding in 1937 inundated the town and washed away its First Street.
