Hickman, the county seat of Fulton County, Kentucky, was originally settled in 1819 as Chicken Point; the name was later changed to Mills Point and finally Hickman. One of Mark Twain's favorite towns on the river, Hickman was once a cotton town and at the turn of the century was quoted as being unsurpassed by any town in Western Kentucky.
