Evarts is a 5th class city located within Harlan County, Kentucky. Our post office was opened on February 9, 1855 and Evarts High School was opened in 1937 but was forced to close at the end of the 2007 school year due to consolidation.
We are located approximately 8 miles from Harlan, Kentucky and 21 miles from Virginia. The city currently operates under a mayor-council form of government and our current mayor is Eddie Manning.
