It is the seat of its county.[3] The population was 6,188 at the time of the 2010 U.S. census. Monticello advertises itself as "The Houseboat Capital of the World" due to the large number of houseboat manufacturers in the city. The city sits next to Lake Cumberland, and much of its economy is built on serving the recreational and tourist traffic to the lake. Max Wise of Campbellsville, Kentucky is the current Kentucky State Senator, representing District 16 which includes Wayne, Adair, Clinton, Cumberland, McCreary, Russell, and Taylor counties. The District 52 Kentucky House of Representatives seat is held by Ken Upchurch of Monticello.[4] District 52 includes Wayne County, McCreary County, and part of Pulaski County. GeographyMonticello is located at {{coord|36|50|17|N|84|51|0|W|type:city}} (36.838194, -84.850022).[5] According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of {{convert|6.1|sqmi|km2}}, all land. Monticello is located near the center of Wayne County at the intersection of state highways 92 and 90, on Elk Creek, a tributary of Beaver Creek, which flows westward into Lake Cumberland.[6] HistoryMonticello became the county seat when the Wayne County was formed in 1800. The first Wayne County clerk, Micah Taul, named the town after the home of Thomas Jefferson. Joshua Jones, a surveyor and Revolutionary War veteran, laid out the town on thirteen acres owned by William Beard. By 1810, the population was twenty-seven people. An oil boom in Wayne County created an economic boost in the late 1800s. Drilling began in these local oil fields in the 1880s and was renewed in 1921-22.[7] Electricity was available in 1905 and city water in 1929. Manufacturing dominated the economy from the late 1950s and 1960s until the late 20th and early 21st century. [8] In 1973, Belden Corporation (wire and cable) employed 300 people; Gamble Brothers (wood products) employed 161 people, Waterbury Garment (clothing) employed 271 people, and Monticello Manufacturing (clothing) employed 240 people. All four of these companies no longer do business in Monticello.[9] Demographics{{US Census population|1810= 37 |1830= 205 |1840= 142 |1880= 354 |1890= 413 |1900= 546 |1910= 1338 |1920= 1514 |1930= 1503 |1940= 1733 |1950= 2934 |1960= 2940 |1970= 3618 |1980= 5677 |1990= 5357 |2000= 5981 |2010= 6188 |estyear=2016 |estimate=6087 |estref=[10] |footnote=U.S. Decennial Census[11] }} As of the census[12] of 2000, there were 5,981 people, 2,508 households, and 1,635 families residing in the city.

Monticello Independent School DistrictFrom 1900 until 2013 Monticello had its own school district independent of the surrounding Wayne County Schools. It was one of the smallest public school districts in Kentucky, averaging fewer than 600 students in grades K through 12. Monticello High School boys and girls basketball teams, nicknamed the Trojans and Lady Trojans, were notable, having participated in several Kentucky High School Athletic Association state tournaments, and produced numerous All-State players. The 1915 boys team was undefeated and claimed the state championship. The 1921 team was coached Hall of Fame Coach Edgar Diddle, who led them to the state tournament semi-finals. From 1957 until 1980, the Trojans were coached by KHSAA Hall of Fame coach Joe Harper who led them to seven district championships, six regional titles, and to the state championship game in 1960.[13] The school district became insolvent in 2013 and was forced to consolidate with the larger Wayne County School system.[14] The school is now an elementary school within the Wayne County School system.
