White Plains is a home rule-class city in Hopkins County, Kentucky, United States. The population was 884 at the 2010 census,[1] up from 800 at the 2000 census.

History

White Plains was established in 1853, and was originally known as "Little Prairie." With the arrival of the railroad in 1870, Little Prairie became the shipping point for a community then known as "White Plains" (modern Fruit Hill) further to the south in Christian County, and thus became known as "White Plains Station," or "New White Plains." When the postmaster of the Christian County community renamed it "Fruit Hill," the "New" was dropped from the name of the Hopkins County city.[2][3]
