Sign in front of the McCracken, Kentucky Courthouse (in Paducah, Kentucky) commemorating early members of the U.S. House of Representatives representing Jackson Purchase (U.S. historical region). The "First District" in the title actually changed over time. It refers to the Jackson Purchase, which was in the 5th district from 1819 to 1823, the 12th district until 1833, and then the 1st district until the end of the sign's lineage in 1855.

Kentucky's 1st congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of Kentucky. Located in Western Kentucky, and stretching into Central Kentucky, the district takes in Henderson, Hopkinsville, Madisonville, Paducah, Murray, Danville, and Frankfort. The district is represented by Republican James Comer who won a special election to fill the seat of Rep. Ed Whitfield who resigned in September 2016. Comer also won election to the regular term to begin January 3, 2017.

Kentucky counties within the 1st Congressional District: Adair, Allen, Ballard, Boyle, Caldwell, Calloway, Carlisle, Casey, Christian, Clinton, Crittenden, Cumberland, Franklin, Fulton, Graves, Henderson, Hickman, Hopkins, Livingston, Lyon, Marshall, Marion, McCracken, Metcalfe, Monroe, Ohio, Russell, Simpson, Taylor, Todd, Trigg, Union, Washington, and Webster.
