Corbin, Kentucky Tourism
In 1895 a village on the banks of Lynn Camp Creek was incorporated and became the town of Corbin. Prior to incorporation, Corbin had been called Lynn Camp after William Lynn, a Virginian, who was lost in the area around 1800. After the Civil War, about six or eight farms were located between London and Williamsburg. Just north of where Corbin now stands, was a mill owned by the McHargues, and a post office, "Whip-poor-will". There was a post office nearby in Woodbine, kept in the home of Liberty Sutton. A tavern was operated by Mrs. Rosa Graves at Rockholds, and there was another operated by H.C. Gillis. The Old Barton Mill on Laurel River, about five miles from Corbin was there during the Civil War. |

Kentucky VA Home Loan Center
When a veteran or active-duty servicemember decides to use a VA-backed home loan to purchase a home, it's recommended that they contact their lender before they ever sign a contract for a home so they can receive pre-approval. When a buyer attempts to obtain a VA loan, their sales contract should include a financing contingency which stipulates that the contract is subject to financing approval for the VA loan. The lender will verify and review the applicant's job and credit history, in comparison to the VA loan approval guidelines and then the lender will either approve or deny financing. |
|
|
National VA Home Loan Center
In order to begin the process for preapproval, veterans and eligible servicemembers can complete the application. The VA Home Loan Centers can not only help veterans and servicemembers complete their financing application, but representatives can also help individuals obtain the required documentation to receive a VA home loan, such as the Certificate of Eligibility. |
