Fourmile is an unincorporated community located in Bell County, Kentucky.
Fourmile appears on the Pineville U.S. Geological Survey Map.[1]
Fourmile is located at 36.7925°N -83.7428°W. Fourmile is along the Cumberland River.
A post office was established in the community in 1899. The origins of the name Fourmile are disputed: some hold it is because of hamlet's location four miles downriver from Pineville, while others believe it was named after the four-mile length of nearby Fourmile Creek.[2]
