Wisdom, Kentucky
Wisdom is an unincorporated community located in Metcalfe County, Kentucky, United States. It was also known as Nicols and Old Randolph.
==History==
On March 21, 1846, a post office was established at the intersection of present-day highways KY 640 and US 68/KY 80. The community was named Randolph, in honor of John Randolph, U.S. Senator and Congressman from Virginia. Edward V. Cummins served as the first postmaster. The community began declining in the 1860s, with businesses closing. In 1873 the post office closed as well. Residents of a newly forming community 2.5 miles south petitioned to have the post office relocated there and on August 12, 1873 it was opened, with the name Randolph moving to the new community.
In 1890, G.S. Neville built and began operating a store at the old Randolph site and a new community began to spring up. Around 1894, Em Evans took over the operation of the store and petitioned for a new post office to be established. The name Wisdom was submitted, in honor of Henry Wisdom, first Superintendent of Schools for Metcalfe County. The post office was approved and Wisdom officially became a community.
