Middlesborough

City in Bell County, in the far southeast of Kentucky; population (2000) 10,400. Middlesborough lies at the western end of the Cumberland Gap, 80 km/50 mi north-northeast of Knoxville, Tennessee.

Middlesborough was developed in 1889 as an iron-manufacturing town by English investors. The enterprise went bankrupt in 1893, but the city recovered to become the centre of the eastern Kentucky coalfields. It now trades in tobacco and dairy cattle, and has tanning, plastics, mobile-home, and food processing industries. Cudjo's Cave is one of several caverns in the vicinity that attract visitors.
