About the area
Catlettsburg is located in the northeast corner of Kentucky at the mouth of the Ohio and Big Sandy rivers. It is considered part of the Kentucky/West Virginia/Ohio Tri-state area. The two most significant landmarks in Catlettsburg are the flood wall and the Catlettsburg Refinery. The latter is owned by Marathon Ashland Petroleum (formerly this was simply Ashland, Inc.). The refinery is somewhat unique within the company because it produces a wide variety of petroleum products. Many MAP refineries, such as the one in Garyville, produce only two or three.
Before the flood wall’s construction, it is estimated that Catlettsburg was inundated with flood water once every 18 months. In 1937 a large snowfall and subsequent rainfall in the mountains of West Virginia swept massive amounts of water into the Ohio River. Catlettsburg was completely inundated with water from this runoff, and what would later be called the “1937 Flood” convinced Ashland, Ironton, Catlettsburg and Russell that they needed permanent flood protection.
Catlettsburg is also the birthplace of famed serial killer Charles Manson.
