Kentucky Union Land Company.
Biographical notes:
The Kentucky Union Land Company (KULC) was a subsidiary of the Kentucky Union Railway Company. The KULC purchased coal, iron, and timberlands, conducted surveys, and purchased the right-of-way for the railway in the southeastern Kentucky counties of Owsley, Bourbon, Lincoln, Estill, Powell, Clay, Montgomery, Breathitt, Woodford, Clark, Madison, Morgan, Mason, and Lee; as well as the Virginia (now West Virginia) counties of Kenhawa (now Kanawha), Monroe, Harrison, and Fayette. Two of the land companies agents were George W. Sewell, who was also a Kentucky legislator, and James McGuire of Irvine, KY.
The Kentucky Union Railway Company was reorganized in 1894 as the Lexington and Eastern Railway Company and later purchased in 1909 by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company.
