London

Ever since Daniel Boone and Dr. Thomas Walker made their way through the Cumberland Gap, people from all walks of life have been visiting the rugged land that became London and Laurel County. London was born from those who stayed, and from her establishment in 1826 to the present day, the energy of Londoners has made it a successful, dynamic place that is hard to leave. "For most of her 170 years," Carl Keith Greene writes, "London has been just like any other town in America." But Greene, a prominent photographer, knows that this is what makes London special; that the community spirit and friendliness of a small town are invaluable in a world where time seems to pass ever faster, as the computer age makes
the world ever smaller.
