About Kentucky

The Bluegrass state encompasses 25.8 million acres, just over 40,409 square miles. Located in the east south-central region of the United States, neighboring states include Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, and Missouri.
Kentucky’s name derives from an Iroquois word, “ken-tah-ten,” meaning “land of tomorrow.” Kentucky became the 15th state of the union in 1792.
It’s nicknamed the Bluegrass State because of the abundance of Kentucky bluegrass, a species of grass found in many pastures. The state flower is the Giant Goldenrod, and the state bird is the Northern Cardinal.
The state is made up of 120 counties. Frankfort is the capital but only the 13th largest city. Louisville, on the Kentucky/Indiana border, is the largest city.
