History

The community was named for a mineral lick near the original town site. An early variant name was “Buffalo Lick”. Licking experienced growth after the South Central Correctional Center opened in June 2000, which doubled the population from the 2000 Census to the 2010 Census. Also, a small Amish community moved from Berne, Indiana to Licking starting in 2009.
