Sharkey, Kentucky : ウィキペディア英語版 | Sharkey, Kentucky Sharkey is a small unincorporated community located at the intersection of state routes 801 and 158 in Rowan County, Kentucky, United States.〔http://kentucky.hometownlocator.com/ky/rowan/sharkey.cfm〕 ==History== The local explanation for the name is derived from a cock fight. The township was on the verge of establishing a post office, which required a town name. There was a cock fight going on at the same time, so the decision was made to name the post office (and subsequently the town) after the winner of the fight. The two roosters involved were named "Sharkey" and "Shanghai", respectively. Sharkey prevailed, hence the name of the township.〔Explanation taken from recording from 1980's Sharkey Homemaker's Association featuring Hazel Black and Grace Curtis, early Sharkey residents〕
