Paducah
is located in the southwestern corner of Kentucky, at the confluence of the Tennessee and Ohio Rivers. As of the 2010 census, the population was 25,024. Paducah is considered the "hub" for the western Kentucky region. It's a historic city, originally settled around 1815 with a mix of white settlers and Native Americans. It was first called Pekin, and the whites and Native Americans lived in harmony, with the Chickasaw Indians welcoming the settlers as they traveled down the Ohio and Tennessee Rivers. In 1827, William Clark, of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, arrived with a title deed to the land. The Indians were asked to move on, which they did, without resistance, eventually settling in Mississippi. Clark surveyed the property and laid out the grid for a new town which remains evident to this day. The town incorporated in 1830 and remained an important port for steam boats that traversed the rivers. Twenty blocks of Paducah's downtown have been placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Other attractions in the city include the National Quilt Museum of the United States, the River Discovery Center and the highly acclaimed Artist Relocation Program, which is located in Paducah's oldest neighborhood. Also, not to be missed is the Paducah Wall to Wall Murals, which contains over 50 murals on the floodwall in the downtown area. Paducah is a vibrant city with a walkable downtown filled with antique shops, boutiques, restaurants and lovely tree-lined streets, making it a very pleasurable place to visit.

Snow cover rarely lasts for more than a few days, although it is occasionally hit by major snowstorms. This area is also prone to freezing rain and ice storms.
