There are Catlettsburgs in Ohio and Kentucky, although the title probably honors a small town in Boyd County at the confluence of the Ohio and Big Sandy rivers in the far northeastern part of the state by the West Virginia border. It was named for an early pioneering family, Alexander and Horatio Catlett, who settled the area at the end of the 18th century. The town was also early known as Mouth of Sandy and Big Sandy Landing. Alexander's son opened a post office using the name 'Catlettsburg' in 1810, although the town itself wasn't established until 1849 when the then owner of the former Catlett farm subdivided the land into individual town lots. By the end of the 19th century Catlettsburg enjoyed economic success as a result of the timber industry<ref>At the time it may have been the largest hard timber market in the world</ref>, although by 1920 the boom times had passed. | |||
