Greenup County & River Towns

The northern Kentucky corridor stretching along the Ohio River from Russell and Flatwoods north through Raceland, Worthington, and Wurtland to Greenup. Russell sits directly across the river from Ironton, Ohio, and Flatwoods — the largest community in the county — anchors a commercial hub along US-23. The region includes several small river towns with deep industrial heritage from the Ashland Oil and iron-furnace era. Greenup County schools serve the entire corridor.
