Haldeman is an unincorporated community located in Rowan County, Kentucky. It is 6 miles northeast of Morehead, the county seat.

History

Haldeman was established in 1907 by L. P. Haldeman in order to house workers for his Kentucky Firebrick Company. 15 years later in 1922, a second and more efficient brick plant opened in Haldeman. It was estimated that several hundred workers were employed by these plants during their operation. Shortly after World War II, the original plant closed. [2] In 1958, the second plant closed, ceasing all brick making operations for the community. Along with the brick factories, there was also a school constructed in 1936 that was ultimately closed in 1991, and partially destroyed by an arsonist's fire on September 28, 2007. [3] A post office was built at the beginning of the towns formation, and was in operation from 1907 to 1997. [4]

During the late evening of Friday, December 10, 2021, a violent, long-tracked EF4 tornado moved across Western Kentucky, producing severe to catastrophic damage in numerous towns, including Mayfield, Princeton, Dawson Springs, and Bremen. Crossing through eleven counties of the Jackson Purchase and Western Coal Field regions during its almost three-hour lifespan, the tornado was exceptionally long-tracked, traveling 165.6 miles (266.5 km) while at times becoming wrapped in rain. It was the deadliest and longest-tracked tornado in an outbreak that produced numerous strong tornadoes in several states; 57 fatalities were confirmed in the tornado. The second significant tornado in an exceedingly long-tracked tornado family, this tornado began just inside northern Obion County, Tennessee, a few miles after another long-tracked tornado – which traveled through northeast Arkansas, the Missouri Bootheel, and northwest Tennessee – dissipated in western Obion County.
