Golconda history tied to Kentucky and river trade
Golconda’s early story runs from Kentucky roots to steamboats and showboats. Immigrants crossed the Ohio via Lusk and Ferguson ferries, and Cherokee led their trek from Georgia into Indian Territory at Golconda. Today it’s the river race finish and a topic in Pope County lore noted in 1949’s Pope County Notes.
