Owensboro has yet to put a famous person on the list

230 towns across Kentucky can name a famous person born there. Covington has the most of any town in Kentucky: 54. After Covington, the next longest list in Kentucky is Bowling Green’s, with 47.

Who’s listed here

Famous people come from Wikidata (people whose birthplace is Owensboro), checked against each person’s English Wikipedia article and ranked by how many Wikipedia languages cover them. Nobody born in Owensboro has passed that check yet, and nobody born within 35 miles is listed.
