About Kentucky
Kentucky entered the Union on June 1, 1792, as the 15th state. Located on the border between the historical U.S. regions of the North and the South, the state officially remained in the Union during the American Civil War.
But a considerable number of Kentucky’s citizens fought with the Confederate army, and the state remained an area to be fought over during the War. Interestingly enough, the key Civil War political figures of the Union and the Confederacy, Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis, were both born in Kentucky. Kentucky slowly recovered from the war, and in the remaining decades of the 19th century, its people began to develop the manufacturing sector of the state’s economy that remains its cornerstone today.
Kentucky derives its name from a Cherokee name for the area south of the Ohio River. Early spellings of the name included “Kaintuckee” and “Cantuckey.” Its meaning is disputed, but some historians believe it means “meadowland.” The official nickname of Kentucky is the Bluegrass State, a reference to the famed bluegrass grown in pastures in central Kentucky. The grass itself is green, not blue, but has buds with a purplish-blue hue, which give pastures seen from a distance a bluish tint. The nickname also recognizes the role that the Bluegrass Region has played in Kentucky’s economy and history.
Kentucky lies in the east-central United States and borders the Ohio River. Kentucky is one of four states that bear the name commonwealth, and its full title is the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Frankfort is the capital of Kentucky.
Lexington-Fayette is the largest city in Kentucky, and known as the Horse Capital of the World.
Louisville is the center of the state’s largest metropolitan area, and as a result, is sometimes called the state’s largest city. The settlement that became Louisville was founded by George Rogers Clark in 1778 and is named after King Louis XVI of France. Louisville is most famous as the home of “The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports”: the Kentucky Derby, the widely watched first race of the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing. The race was first run in 1875, in front of a crowd of 10,000. Every year, the race is run on the first Saturday in May.
Kentucky has had a rich and varied history since frontier times, when it was the haunt of Daniel Boone and other famous pioneers. Boone was a famous frontiersman and hunter, and his importance in the settling of Kentucky can be found all over the state. Countless state buildings have been named after him. Boone may not be the most accurately portrayed American figure, but his adventures, true or imagined, were essential to the subsequent archetype of the Western hero of folklore. Boone was a legend in his own lifetime, due to published accounts of his adventures that made him famous in the U.S. and overseas.
