Welcome from Kenny Darnell, Chamber of Commerce
Board Chairman
Welcome to Murray and Calloway
County, KY, a top-ranked retirement community. But, retirees are not
the only ones seeking this western Kentucky haven. Students and
families also pursue residence in this progressive and proud
community of 35,000.
Murray is the home of Murray State University, an award-winning
university, with over 10,000 enrolled. It consistently ranks as one
of the nation’s best educational values and has implemented a
residential college program similar to those of the Ivy League
universities. Murray State also boasts ‘Town & Gown’, a partnership
of community business supporters and MSU, which promotes the
importance of higher education in the town.
In 2005, Murray and Calloway County was selected as one of ‘100 Best
Communities’ for young people in the United States. With a variety
of children’s activities and programs available in the community and
through the schools, this community is often referred to as a great
place to raise a family.
A community hospital with 65 physicians in 26 specialties is
available at the Murray-Calloway County Hospital. With renovations
and expansions both in the works and planned for the future, this
public, nonprofit hospital offers state of the art treatments as
well as a Wellness Center and preventative education programs.
Outdoor activities like camping, hiking, boating, fishing and
hunting abound in the Land Between the Lakes national recreation
area just minutes from Murray. This region was formed when the
Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers were impounded to create Kentucky
Lake and Lake Barkley. This area sees over 2 million visitors a year
and is a huge asset to our residents and travelers alike. Over
170,000 acres of untouched land gives Murray a special backyard in
which to play.
A variety of industry, business and agriculture make up the work
force of this vibrant community. Strong leadership in the county and
city governments has helped this growing community thrive
economically as well as educationally. New housing continues to pop
up as new families find Murray and Calloway as their new home.

Chamber of Commerce at 270-753-5171 or toll free at 1-800-900-5171.
