Jenkins, Kentucky
Jenkins is a home rule-class city〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Summary and Reference Guide to House Bill 331 City Classification Reform )〕 in Letcher County, Kentucky, United States. The population was 2,203 as of the 2010 census.
Jenkins is best known as the Birthplace of Two Garys (country music star Gary Stewart and U-2 spy plane pilot Francis Gary Powers).
==History==
In autumn of 1911, the Consolidation Coal Company purchased the current location of Jenkins as part of a 100,000-acre tract of land in Pike, Letcher and Floyd counties from the Northern Coal and Coke Company. After the acquisition was finalized, plans were made to extend the Lexington and Eastern Railroad from Jackson to a town named McRoberts. The plans also included the establishment of the town of Jenkins for George C. Jenkins, one of the Consolidation Coal Company's directors.〔(History of Jenkins, Kentucky ) Retrieved on 2010-2-7〕
Because of the need of hundreds of homes and other structures, nine sawmills and two brickyards were erected. A dynamo was built to temporarily generate power for the houses. Next, a temporary narrow-gauge railroad was built over Pine Mountain from Glamorgan, Virginia in order to carry supplies to further the development of the town.〔 Jenkins's city government was established as soon as the businesses and land were put up for sale. The company even went as far to supply the town with its own marshals to enforce the law.〔 Jenkins was finally incorporated as a sixth-class city on January 9, 1912.〔Commonwealth of Kentucky.
