Living in Covington, KY
The history of Covington stems back to just after the Revolutionary War, when President George Washington sent his friend Christopher Gist, to scope out the areas along the Ohio River. As European immigrants began coming to the area, many of them of German descent, the city began to grow and flourish along the riverfront. Because much of the shipping and transport of goods was done through waterways, the city of Covington became well-established as a port city. It continued to grow throughout the years, rising from a population of more than 700 in 1830 to the current-day population of more than 40,000, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Covington Attractions and Special Events
One of the biggest attractions in the area is the Newport Aquarium, one of the best ways to experience wildlife in an unexpected place like the Bluegrass State. The venue is home to exotic marine wildlife like jellyfish, coral reefs, sharks, penguins and stingrays. A family-friendly venue, the aquarium is also a popular space for local events and exciting dive shows.
One of the finest golf courses in the Ohio River Valley, the Twin Oaks Golf and Plantation Club, is home to some challenging and beautiful holes on a magnificent and scenic green space. Part of the community since 1927, residents and visitors from all over the area come to work on their swing here every year.
