At the junction of the present Ky 2 and 7, storekeeper Virgil L Ramsey established the Gesling post office on September 15, 1927. He alone served as postmaster till it closed in May 1957. It was most likely named for one or more of the three Gesling brothers, Fred W., Carl G., and Charles, who were engineers in Ashland.
