The area was first settled by William Glenn in 1797, who was originally from Nelson County and was the son of celebrated Indian fighter and Kentucky pioneer David Glenn.[3] William would later serve as colonel of the local "cornstalk" militia following the War of 1812[4] as well as a representative in the state legislature in 1817[5][6] and sheriff of Daviess County from 1821 to 1823.
According to legend, an early settler was paid a barrel of whiskey to name the town after H. T. Curd, a steamboat captain on the nearby Green River.[7]
