The Hatfield–McCoy feud involved two families of the West Virginia–Kentucky area along the Tug Fork of the Big Sandy River.
Tourists travel to parts of West Virginia and Kentucky each year to see the areas and historic relics which remain from the days of the feud.
In 1999, a large project known as the "Hatfield and McCoy Historic Site Restoration" was completed, funded by a federal grant from the Small Business Administration. Many improvements to various feud sites were completed.
In 1979, the families united for a special week's taping of the popular game show Family Feud, in which they played for a cash prize and a pig which was kept on stage during the games.
The McCoy family won the week-long series three games to two. While the Hatfield family won more money -- $11,272 to the McCoys' $8,459—the decision was made to augment the McCoy family's winnings to $11,273.
