Cecilia, Kentucky


Cecilia is a census-designated place and unincorporated community in Hardin County, Kentucky, United States. It is located west of Elizabethtown, the county seat. As of the 2010 census it had a population of 572.
The town was formerly called "Cecilian Junction" because of its location at the junction of the Illinois Central Railroad's Louisville-Paducah main line and its branch to Hodgenville. The community is part of the Elizabethtown–Fort Knox Metropolitan Statistical Area, and a significant part of the area served by the Cecilia post office is now within the Elizabethtown city limits.
Kentucky Route 86 runs through the town, ending just south of the town at an intersection with U.S. Route 62.
