The property where the Novadell community and golf club now stand has a long and colorful history in Hopkinsville, Ky.
In 1913, the W.B. Anderson family of Hopkinsville purchased the then-closed Acme Mills from some local businessmen headed by George Dalton.
The Andersons expanded and reopened the mills, which produced Veribest Flour, shipped to all parts of the United States. Veribest was called “The Whitest Flour in the World” long before the slogan was made famous by the call letters of the Acme Mills' radio station –WFIW, one of Kentucky's first stations.
While working for the mills, a German immigrant, Hal C. Fifer, had developed and patented the whitening process for Acme's flour. That process was patented under the name “Novadell.”

At the time all this was going on, W.B. Anderson, Jr., 35, served as president of Acme Mills and was one of the youngest men in the country to head such an operation. During the Great Depression, Anderson bought the first of two farms in the area from the New York Life Insurance Co. The farms were excellent wheat producers, and he appropriately called them by the name Novadell.
In 1997, Anderson's sons Billy, Bobby and Phelps sold Novadell to local investors, who developed our present golfing community on the site. Although many different names for the project were considered, “Novadell” and “The Links at Novadell” proved to be the most popular choices and help enhance our remembrance of the rich historical traditions of Christian County, Ky. Novadell and The Links have become an outstanding place to live and to play.
