Bordering Fort Knox directly north of Elizabethtown, Radcliff figures heavily in the military history of the region. Radcliff's economy is based heavily in neighboring Fort Knox, an Army post that is home to the United States Bullion Depository. The military base was built in 1861, and today it is home of the George S. Patton Museum. Radcliff was settled in 1919 and was named for Major William Radcliffe, head of the Quartermaster Corps at Fort Knox.
Radcliff is home to some terrific locations, including Radcliff City Park and Saunders Springs Nature Preserve. Radcliff City Park has an amphitheater, a playground, basketball courts, a disc golf course, and the Skate Wave Park. The preserve includes three historic cabins built in the 1800s. The park is popular for hiking, biking, picnicking, and wildlife viewing. The park features several caves, springs, and waterfalls. Radcliff's Colvin Community Center features a swimming pool, meeting rooms, a full kitchen, lighted tennis courts, a lighted basketball court, a playground, and an outdoor walking track.
