1937

The dream of central-station electricity became a reality for 165 homes in the southern part of Christian County when a switch was thrown at this spot on the night of September 2nd, 1938. These 165 homes were the first members to be served by the Pennyrile Rural Electic Cooperative Corp., which had been organized, officially, on August 13, 1937.

The infant cooperative was under the guidance of a Board of Directors composed of: W.E. Lacy, president; Thomas J. Lyne, vice president; G.W. Latham, secretary-treasurer; John L. Thurmond and John W. Stovall.

Nothing has improved the quality of life in rural Kentucky more than the coming of electricity.
