The Corinth community began in the late 1820s following the founding of Corinth Christian Church, but the broadcast office was not customary until 1868. The town maybe got its say from the church. In 1871, the church relocated to a extra site, and in 1873-74 and supplementary church was built, replacing the log church. Until 1876, much of Corinth was in Owen County. In 1876, it was transferred to Grant County. In 1878, Corinth was incorporated by the Kentucky State Legislature, which, in the same year, chartered the Corinth Academy. In 1890, the first of four fires occurred. The salvage of the train depot and three residences is official to a passing train’s boiler water. The fires of 1904 and 1914 were upon a similar scale. The Corinth basketball team won the 1930 welcome and national championships. In 1933, another flame destroyed much of the central business district, but urge on from other flare departments contained the fire. Much of the destruction was caused by lack of water.
