Edsel is a small place in Elliott County, Kentucky, in the United States. It is known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and businesses that isn't officially a town or city with its own local government. Instead, it's part of the larger county. Edsel used to have its own post office, but it is now closed.

What's in a Name?

The community of Edsel got its name in 1929. That's when a post office was first opened there. The person in charge of the post office decided to name the place "Edsel" after their nephew. So, the name is a tribute to a family member!
