Lyon County
1) Brief History
The 102d county in order of formation, Lyon County is named for Chittenden Lyon, a U.S. representative whose family settled in the area in 1801. The seat is Eddyville, which previously served in that capacity for Livingston and Caldwell counties.
Early settlers included David Walker, who in 1790 acquired a land patent where Eddyville is now located, and Matthew Lyon, who brought his family from Vermont in 1801 and established a shipyard there on the Cumberland River. Lyon constructed hulls of several ships for the U.S. Navy during the War of 1812.
Rumors of the construction of the Barkley Dam in the mid 1950’s brought turmoil to the county as it would mean relocating the towns of Eddyville and Kuttawa. Lee S. Jones, a Louisville lawyer and Lyon County native, presented a plan to the Eddyville City Council. According to his plan, each person owning land in the towns (Eddyville and Kuttawa) to be flooded would receive a free lot in the new Eddyville site. This also applied to businesses.
Eddyville residents accepted his offer and on August 13, 1959, the official plat for the new town was filed with the county court clerk. The plat included 254 residential lots, 46 business lots, 28 acres (110,000 m2) for construction of a school and campus, city park, courthouse, health office, water works, and location of streets.
2) Geographical Description
Located in the western Kentucky waterlands and bordered by Caldwell, Crittenden, Livingston, Marshall, and Trigg counties, Lyon County has an area of 209 square miles. The topography is level to hilly. Thirty-four percent of Lyon County is in the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area. Farms occupy 33 percent of the land area, and 66 percent of farmland is in cultivation.
The county's extensive iron ore deposits contributed to the county's economy in the nineteenth century. Some of the ore was exported but a number of local furnaces to process the ore were built, one being the Suwanee furnace.

8) Strengths and Needs of Head Start Eligible Children and Families as Defined by the Families
Families in each county were given the opportunity to be involved in our Family Partnership Agreement process which included completing an individualized family goal, pre-assessment, and post assessment. The main areas for both assessments include: education, employment, housing, transportation, emergency assistance, child birth, relative child, family literacy, resources/training, volunteering, and community involvement. The purpose of the pre-assessment is to better understand the family’s unique strengths and needs to determine if any follow-up of services or resources are needed.
