Idlewild is an unincorporated community in Boone County, Kentucky, United States. Idlewild is located at the junction of Kentucky Routes 20 and 338, Шаблон:Convert northwest of Burlington.[1] The name "Idlewild" was adopted in 1900, and the community was formerly named Gainesville and Utzinger, respectively.[1] The Gainesville name was based upon the Gaines family, who owned a great deal of land in Boone County.[1] The name Utzinger was placed later, upon establishment of the community's post office in 1886.[1]

History

In the late 19th century, Idlewild had several businesses, a general store and three blacksmith shops.[1] A carriage shop also existed, which was operated by a charter member of the Wells Fargo stage delivery route, Fred Pfalzgraf.[1]

In the early 20th century, there were two nearby schools, one for white pupils and one for black pupils.[1]

In the 1940s, there were only two businesses in the community's business district, the Scothorn general store and Scothorn Motors auto dealership.[1] In 2015, the former general store building was vacant, and the Scothorn Motors building was an auto body shop.[1]
