Bugtussle is an unincorporated community in Monroe County, Kentucky, United States. It is located in the southern part of the county, immediately north of the Kentucky-Tennessee state line. Kentucky Route 382 (formerly part of Kentucky Route 87)[2] connects the community with Gamaliel to the northeast[3] and Lafayette Tenn. to the southwest;[4] the highway becomes Tennessee S.R. 261 across the state line.[5]
Bugtussle was so named due to the abundance of doodlebugs there.[6] The community has been noted on lists of unusual place names.[7][8]
