Geography
[edit]Uno is located east and slightly north of Horse Cave on U.S. Route 31E.
History
[edit]Uno was settled at some point in the mid-19th century. The community's post office was established as Uno at sometime in the 1880s; its original name Clear Point belonged to another town before mail routes were established in the community.[2][3]
It originally was known locally as a trading point of moonshine. According to tradition, discreet buyers of moonshine would say they were going to "You know" in order to get their supply.[4]
