Tomahawk, Kentucky
Tomahawk is an unincorporated community that stretches along Kentucky Route 40 in Martin County, Kentucky, United States, in the eastern part of the state near the West Virginia border. It is located on Rockhouse Fork of Rockcastle Creek, about six miles (9.6 km) west of Inez, the county seat.
==Establishment==
The post office was established as Wells on August 20, 1886, and named for its first postmaster, Richard M. Wells, according to ''Kentucky Place Names'' by Richard M. Rennick. It was closed in 1894, but reopened on November 4, 1898 as Tomahawk for ''The Tomahawk News'', a newspaper then being published in Inez. It now has an estimated population of 1,000, based on voter registration in the Tomahawk precinct. The post office survived in 1975 when the U.S. Postal Service closed nearby offices in Milo and Davisport. In 2012, as part of the Postal Service's nationwide reorganization, the full-time post office building at the forks of Rockcastle Creek and Stafford Fork was closed. But the community retained its name, Zip Code (41262) and some services after it was designated as Kentucky's first Village Post Office. As such, the facility provides free-standing post-office boxes and a mail drop box beside a convenience store, which is authorized to sell stamps and delivery envelopes.
