About Kentucky in brief
Kentucky was admitted into the Union as the 15th state on June 1, 1792, splitting from Virginia in the process. It is known as the \”Bluegrass State\”, a nickname based on Kentucky bluegrass, a species of grass found in many of its pastures. The state is also known for horse racing, bourbon, moonshine, coal, \”My Old Kentucky Home\” historic state park, automobile manufacturing, tobacco, bluegrass music, college basketball, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and the Kentucky colonel. Kentucky has a non-contiguous part known as Kentucky Bend, at the far west corner of the state. It exists as an exclave surrounded completely by Missouri and Tennessee, and is included in the boundaries of Fulton County. The epicenter of the 1811–12 New Madrid earthquakes was near this area, causing the Mississippi River to flow backwards in some places. A significant portion of eastern Kentucky is part of Appalachia. Kentucky borders seven states, from the Midwest and the Southeast. The Bluegrass region is divided into two regions, the Inner Bluegrass encircling 90 miles around Lexington and the Outer Bluegrass covering most of the northern portion of Kentucky. Kentucky is the 37th most extensive and the 26th most populous of the 50 United States. It has the world’s longest cave system: Mammoth Cave National Park, as well as the greatest length of navigable waterways and streams in the contiguous United States and the two largest man-made lakes east of the Mississippi river.
The Kentucky Bend is the result of a surveying error, the New Madrid earthquake of 1811-12, which affected the small number of inhabitants of the area at the time, and affected the area’s geology. The area is commonly commonly referred to as the Jackson Purchase, which is made up of short, steep, and very narrow hills. Located in the Purchase, Jackson Purchase is home to several cyprespresstelo hills, which are commonly commonly commonly home to bald cystelo swamps and swamps. The most common type of cyst is the Knobs of Knobs, or Knobs-of-Knobs cyst, which can be found in the northern and western parts of the Bluegrass area. The name Kentucky may be a corruption of the word Catawba, in reference to the catawba people who inhabited Kentucky. The word aki means “land” in most Algonquian languages. Kentucky’s northern border is formed by the Ohio River and its western border by the MississippiRiver; however, the official border is based on the courses of the rivers as they existed when Kentucky became a state in 1792. For instance, northbound travelers on U.S. 41 from Henderson, after crossing the Ohio river, will be in Kentucky for about two miles. Ellis Park, a thoroughbred racetrack, is located in this small piece of Kentucky, Road access to this small part of Kentucky on the Tennessee River ) requires a trip through Tennessee.
