Roundhill, Kentucky

Roundhill is an unincorporated community in Butler County, Kentucky, United States, situated on Butler County's eastern boundary with Edmonson County.

Geography
Roundhill is located on the county line between Butler and Edmonson counties at 37.25601°N, -86.40697°W, at a crossroad intersection of State Highways 70 and 185. KY 70 leads 16 mi west to Morgantown, and 10 mi east to Brownsville. KY 185 leads 15 mi north to Caneyville, and 19 mi south to Bowling Green.

The town is located along the Big Reedy Creek, a tributary of the Green River. Roundhill is part of the Bowling Green MSA, but it is part of Kentucky's Western Coal Fields region.

Education
Because the community straddles the Butler–Edmonson County line, it is on the boundary of two school districts based in Morgantown and Brownsville, respectively. Students west and/or south of the KY 70 and KY 185 junction attend Butler County Schools based in Morgantown, while students east and/or north of the junction attend Edmonson County Schools in the Brownsville area. North Butler Elementary just west of Jetson and Kyrock Elementary near Sweeden are the closest elementary/grade schools on their respective sides of the county line.

Sites of interest
Roundhill is home to two businesses along the county line, one is an auto parts/repair shop and the other, a convenience store named "The Corner Market." That business also serves as the community's USPS village post office with ZIP code 42275. The Roundhill post office, which began operation in 1893, was previously housed in the former Roundhill Grocery building on KY 70; that building is still standing, but it is not in the condition to be used.

Roundhill Church of Christ is the main place of worship in this community. Just east of the community on KY 70 is Hopewell Baptist Church. Threlkel Cemetery is located just west of the community.
