Fudge, Kentucky

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Fudge was a small unincorporated community in Fulton County, Kentucky, United States, approximately 4 miles southwest of modern day Hickman. A small town in the 1850s and 1860s with a population of less than 50, Fudge was abandoned after a few years after settlers determined that the land was inarable. Poor drainage and salinity on the site rendered the soil inadequate to support sustained farming cycles. The earth beneath the site is rich in limestone, with collapsing (slowly dissolving) caverns beneath.

Unsubstantiated reports of its use as a backdrop for several music videos have circulated on the internet—specifically regarding the Flaming Lips song “Chrome Plated Suicide.” No evidence suggests that any music video was ever made for this song. As of July, 2011, no photos of this location are available online, nor have any coordinates been proposed.
