Medical Waste Disposal Hopkinsville, KY

Located in the southwest region of Kentucky is the up and coming city, Hopkinsville. The city is about 24 miles north of Clarksville, Tennessee and 62 miles northwest of Nashville, Tennessee. The area of present-day Hopkinsville was initially claimed in 1796 by Bartholomew and Martha Ann Wood, a couple who traveled from Jonesborough, Tennessee. Following the creation of Christian County that same year, Woods donated some of his land to give the community its foundation. The Woods couple would try to rename the community to “Elizabeth” after their eldest daughter, but another town in Hardin County preempted the name. The Kentucky Assembly established the town in 1804 as “Hopkinsville” after state representative and veteran Samuel Hopkins. Dating back to the settlements of the 1790’s, the city of Hopkinsville has had strong agricultural roots. It has been a strong and consistent leader in the production of corn, winter wheat, soybeans, and tobacco. Specifically, within that last, tobacco production has given the town lots of recreation in the past and modern-day Hopkinsville recognizes that. The “Tobacco War Pilgrimage” is an annual festival that commemorates a period of agricultural crisis, economic boycott, and rebellion that affected every aspect of life in the region. Industries within the city’s regions today have shifted from being solely agricultural-based to having an array of industries that offer wide range of career opportunities. Hopkinsville is the headquarters and primary manufacturing facility for Ebonite International, one of the oldest and largest bowling ball manufacturers.  Also located in Hopkinsville, Western State Hospital employs over 700 people in its three facilities. Some of the other top employers within the region include: Jennie Stuart Medical Center, Metalsa, and Hopkinsville Community College.
