History
This is where the first white man in Breckinridge County step his first foot on this much coveted land.
This community, which was located on the CSX Railroad line, north of Hardinsburg, was originally named Chicken Bristle because of the famous cock fights which were held there. People came from many other states and as far away as Chicago and New York to attend the fights.
The Sample post office closed in 1992.[2]
