Ilsley is an unincorporated community[disputed – discuss] and coal town located in Hopkins County, Kentucky, United States.
An act of incorporation for the town was passed in 1890.[2] By 1902 the town had a post office.[3] In the 1920s the community was home to mining operations[4] with two pits each producing 500 tons a day of coal and a plant producing 650 tons of strip a day.[5]
The Paducah & Louisville Railroad passed through the community until the tracks were removed in 2001. As of 2003 a trail was planned to replace the removed track.[6]
In April 2020 a church in the community was at the centre of an outbreak of COVID-19 due to poor social distancing practises compounded by the claim that only influenza had been spreading at the church. A revival event at the Church on 14–15 March 2020 had led to 24 cases of COVID-19 and two deaths.[7][8]
