Progressive Spirit
Boyle County, at the geographic center of Kentucky, is in the heart of the Bluegrass region, known for its natural beauty. Danville's vitality began as populations moved west of the Alleghenies in the mid-1700s. As the center of expansion, it became “the City of Firsts,” known for early achievements in education, medicine, government and law.
The foresight demonstrated by men with vision more than two centuries ago is a proud heritage that continues to move the community forward. Leaders from all sectors work together, often as volunteers, and invest their energy, intellect, and talent to achieve our highly valued quality of life.
Diverse Economy
Beyond the charm of its historic architecture and welcoming attitude, Danville stands out with its broad economic foundation. In addition to manufacturing and distribution, wide-ranging professional expertise, and a full complement of service businesses, Boyle County is a regional hub for health care, secondary education, cultural events, and active recreation.
While manufacturing, distribution, health care and education provide a major portion of jobs in Boyle County, the area’s rich forage allows agriculture to remain as a vital part of the economy.
