The story so far

Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population fell from 2,449 to 2,391 (-2%). Half of its homes were built before 1964.

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Buck yet — the old photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.

Nothing in Buck is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Buck has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Hardin County Courthouse in Kenton, 2.6 miles away.
