IN c I N Bowling Green, Kentucky, founded in 1798, is a beautiful Southern city nestled adjacent to the Barren River and set amid the undulating foothills of south~central Kentucky. Long before Bowling Green was known as the home of Western Kentucky University, the General Motors Corvette assembly plant, the National Corvette Museum, and the birthplace of Duncan Hines of cake mix fame, the town forged a progressive but not aggressive attempt to become a community of consequence. The Civil War hampered this progress, but the march quickened after the difficult years of Reconstruction. Transportation was always an important component of this growth. Over the years, Bowling Green enjoyed access to good roads, river traffic via steamboats and barges, rail service on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, and, by the late 1930s, a developing airport. This transportation infrastructure placed Bowling Green on solid footing to benefit from the economic boom after World War II.
