Around 1780, the town of Shively, Kentucky was first settled by farmers. The town gets its name from Christian William Shively, an early landowner in the area who once owned much of what is now the Shively precinct. The town’s economy later turned to whiskey distilleries after the days of prohibition ended, but many of them had closed by the 1960s. Today the town has a mixture of businesses and retail shops, but one rather controversial source of income is the Seventh Street area, which is lined with adult entertainment businesses.
