Kuttawa 〔 is a 5th-class city in Lyon County, Kentucky, in the United States. The population was 649 as of the 2010 U.S. census, up from 596 in 2000. == History == Former Ohio governor Charles Anderson founded the town on land he purchased in 1866. Originally spelled Cuttawa and Kittawa, Kuttawa seems to have been the name of a Cherokee village near the site, whose meaning is a matter of dispute: it has been variously translated as "beautiful", "city in the woods", and "great wilderness".〔 The city was formally incorporated by the state assembly in 1872,〔Commonwealth of Kentucky.

Eddyville and Kuttawa were both moved from their original locations owing to the impounded lake.
