Vicco is a city in Perry County, Kentucky, United States. The population was 334 at the 2010 census. On January 16, 2013, Vicco became the smallest city in the United States to pass an ordinance outlawing discrimination based on sexual orientation.〔(ACLU of Kentucky Celebrates Victory in Vicco | American Civil Liberties Union )〕 ==History== Vicco was originally a coal mining town; its name comes from the initials of the Virginia Iron Coal and Coke Company. The city was known for its bars and entertainment; ''The New York Times'' described it as "the local coal miner's Vegas." The decline of the coal industry in the region brought economic trouble to Vicco, as local businesses closed and the city faced severe budget deficits. However, the city has recently attempted a revival, having restarted its defunct police force among other measures.〔
