Reason
One of the most isolated communities in Appalacia: until the twentieth century, "the only ways in or out of the valley were 45 miles down the North Fork of the Kentucky River, or a 2-week trip over the surrounding mountains." The town's name was popularized by the Dukes of Hazzard television series and film. Restored version of File:Hazard Kentucky bridge.jpg.
