Hanson is a 6th-class city in Hopkins County, Kentucky, in the United States. The population was 625 at the 2000 census. The Hanson Historic District is located in the city. The companies that supply power to Hanson residents are Kentucky Utilities and Kenergy. ==History== The town was founded in 1869 on a 50-acre grant from two local landowners, judge Robert Eastwood and pastor Roland Gooch, in order to function as a stop on the Evansville, Henderson, and Nashville Railroad. The city was laid out by (and named for) a railway's engineer and surveyor named Henry B. Hanson.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hmdb.org//marker.asp?marker=88955 )〕 The community received its post office on Dec. 7, 1869, and was incorporated by the state assembly on Mar. 31, 1873.〔Commonwealth of Kentucky.

The city was essentially destroyed by a fire in 1889〔 and the present historic district dates from the rebuilding that followed.〔City of Hanson. "(Hanson Historic District )".
