The History of Owensboro
The first documented European settler to the area of what is now known as Owensboro was William Smeathers, an American pioneer who helped settle both Kentucky and Texas. The area also served as a stop for the Lewis and Clark expedition before their famous exploration of the untamed American frontier.
Originally called Yellow Banks in reference to the soil surrounding the Ohio River, Owensboro’s name comes from Col. Abraham Owen, who died in the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811. Another casualty of the battle is the namesake of Daviess County – Joseph Hamilton Daviess, a lawyer who argued before the U.S. Supreme Court and commanded the Dragoons of Indiana Militia.
