About this city
Also known as: The Industrial Capital of Kentucky Lake
Calvert City is a highly unique strategic industrial city located in northern Marshall County, nestled along the broad banks of the Tennessee River just below Kentucky Lake. Incorporated in 1951, the city experienced a massive transformation following the generation of cheap hydroelectric power from the nearby Kentucky Dam, rapidly growing into a major manufacturing hub for chemical production and metallurgy. It combines its critical corporate footprint with direct access to extensive inland resort water sports.
