Middlesboro, Kentucky
Middlesboro ()〔Rennick, Robert. ''Kentucky Place Names'', University Press of Kentucky (Lexington), 1987, (p. 196 ). Accessed 26 August 2013.〕 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 Bell County, Kentucky, United States. The population was 10,334 at the 2010 U.S. census,〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=United States Census Bureau )〕 while its micropolitan area had a population of 69,060.
It is located 1 mile west of the Cumberland Gap〔 and is the largest city in southeastern Kentucky.〔 Retrieved on 2010-06-29〕 It is located entirely between Pine Mountain and the Cumberland Mountains in the Middlesboro Basin, which geologists believe to be an enormous meteor crater (one of three known astroblemes in the state). The city claims to be the only one in the United States built entirely inside such a crater,〔City of Middlesboro. "(Middlesboro Kentucky )". Accessed 26 August 2013.〕 as well as the home of ragtime music and the oldest continuously-played golf course in the country.〔City of Middlesboro. "(About Us )". Accessed 26 August 2013.〕
==Name==
Originally funded by English businessmen, the town opened its first post office on September 14, 1888, under the name Middlesborough, presumably in honor of the English town of almost the same name.〔 The city was formally incorporated under that spelling on March 14 two years later,〔〔 but the post office switched to "Middlesboro" in 1894〔University of Kentucky. ''Kentucky Atlas'': "(Middlesborough )". Accessed 11 March 2010.〕 and that spelling has since been adopted by the city itself,〔 the Kentucky Land Office,〔 and the U.S. Board on Geographic Names.〔 Some still contend "Middlesborough" remains official, however.〔
