History

Woodburn began as a hamlet known as “Mason’s Inn,” which served as a stop along the stagecoach road that roughly followed what is now U.S. Route 31W. It is believed to have gotten its current name from a nearby forest that had been destroyed by fire. The L&N established a depot at the site in 1859, initially calling it “New Woodburn,” but reverting simply to “Woodburn” by 1864. A townsite was platted next to the depot in 1865, and the city was incorporated the following year. The oldest grave in the Woodburn Cemetery is dated 1854.
