Etymology

William Henry Perrin's 1884 History of Trigg County does not explain the origin of Spanish name of the town. In May 1820 the county commission chose to use Robert Baker's land as the site of the county seat. He relinquished his stable yard and the surrounding Шаблон:Convert. From August to October, the commission platted the town in blocks and named it as Cadiz. Rennick's Kentucky Place Names repeats the local tradition that a Spaniard in the surveying party successfully suggested his hometown. The book also states that "It was definitely not named for the city in Ohio." The name, however, does not take the Spanish pronunciation.
