Its original name was "Jolly Station", for Nelson Jolly, a local landowner. It was named for the town's first postmaster, Anne McQuady.[5]
A line of the Louisville, Hardinsburg, & Western Railroad running through the town was completed in 1890. It eventually became a branch of the Louisville, Henderson, & St. Louis Railroad.[6]
Soon after the completion of the railroad through town, Baptist residents founded Corinth Baptist church.[7]
In 1910, St. Mary of the Woods Roman Catholic church was moved into town. The church operated a high school from 1922 to 1932 and an elementary school from 1922 to 1967. The schools were staffed by Dominican Sisters of St. Catherine.[8]
