==History==
Royalton was established as a company town by the Dawkins Lumber Company of Ashland Kentucky who opened a mill there on August 1, 1920. They were financed by the Royal Bank of Canada for which the town is named.〔John E. Kleber ''The Hardwood Record'', April 25, 1921〕
The lumber company established a railroad, the Dawkins Line, in order to transport lumber. After the lumber industry left the coal industry became big in Royalton. A coal tipple was built and the railroad was put to use by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway in 1930 and later by CSX. The coal industry has since moved on and the Dawkins Line was sold to R.J. Corman in 2002 and abandoned in 2004. After the rail corridor was abandoned, the former railroad right-of-way was converted to the Dawkins Line Rail Trail, which opened in 2013.〔(Gov. Beshear and First Lady Open Dawkins Line Rail Trail ) Governor Steve Beshear's Communications Office. Retrieved 2013-06-21.〕
The Royalton post office was established on September 20, 1920.〔Robert M. Rennick ''Kentucky Place Names'', 1988, p. 257.〕 In 2011 the post office was closed, one of several thousand being eliminated by the US Postal Service across the country in an effort to save revenue.
