Alone is a ghost town and unincorporated townsite in Metcalfe County, Kentucky, along KY 1243, named by J.C. Withers.

A post office was established on November 30, 1880,[2] and D.J. Anderson was postmaster in 1887.[3] In 1892, the Beachville Lodge No. 619 of the Masons met here every Saturday of each month.[4]

From July 1, 1914, to July 1, 1917, Alone readers were supplied by a traveling library.[5][6]
