Hustonville has a proud heritage from its inception as a city in 1835 to present. The city has seen many changes and unlike many other small cities across Kentucky, Hustonville still has still kept its small town values.

Hustonville has its place in Kentucky's rich history being the first woman's college in the foot hills of the Appalachia. Hustonville was originally known as The Crossroads because of the trails connecting the Kentucky and Green rivers and the Falls of the Ohio. Hustonville had also been known as Farmington, Hanging Fork, and New Store.  The town was renamed Hustonville after two local landowners by the name of Huston when the town was established on, February 29, 1835.
