Semiway is a small, quiet place in McLean County, Kentucky, in the United States. It's known as an "unincorporated community," which means it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town. People often say Semiway got its name because it's located about halfway between two other towns, Calhoun and Sacramento.

Discovering Semiway, Kentucky

What is an Unincorporated Community?

An unincorporated community like Semiway is a group of homes and businesses that are not part of an official city or town. These places are usually governed by the larger county they are in, rather than having their own mayor or city council. This means the county provides services like roads, police, and fire protection. Many small communities across the United States are unincorporated.

Where is Semiway Located?

Semiway is found in McLean County, which is in the western part of Kentucky. The community sits at an elevation of about 390 feet (119 meters) above sea level. Its location is a bit special because it's said to be "semi" (or halfway) between the towns of Calhoun and Sacramento. This makes it a small, peaceful spot in the Kentucky countryside.
