History of Covington

 

Covington wasn't always the name of the village. In fact, the village has had quite a colorful history and several names over the years before it was incorporated under the name of Covington in 1835. It was first known as Fort Rowdy back in 1793. References to subsequent names are found in several historic accounts. These names include Fort Buchanan, Friendship, Oldtown, Rowdytown, Newberry, and Stillwater. Preserving this rich heritage is the Fort Rowdy Museum. Located on Spring Street in Covington.
