Brief History of Kentucky-
Kentucky is located in the central United States. It is bounded by the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers on the west, the Ohio River on the north, the Big Sandy River, Pine Mountain, and Cumberland Mountain on the east, and the state of Tennessee on the south. In 1792, a part of Virginia became the 15th state to join the Union. Kentucky is the 37th largest state in terms of land area, and ranks 26th in population.
Kentucky is known as the Bluegrass State because it is a fact that throughout lawns and pastures in Kentucky, there is bluegrass that is being grown. It is a land with diverse environments and abundant resources, including the world's longest cave system, the greatest length of navigable waterways and streams in the Lower 48 states, and the two largest man-made lakes east of the Mississippi River. Kentucky is also home to the highest per capita number of deer and turkey in the United States, and the nation's most productive coalfield. Kentucky is also known for thoroughbred horses, horse racing, bourbon distilleries, bluegrass music, automobile manufacturing, tobacco, and college basketball.
The Greater Louisville Metro Area holds a very disproportionate share of Kentucky's population, growth and wealth, and is by definition Kentucky's primate city. The city has an estimated population of 554,496 from the year 2006, while the Louisville Combined Statistical Area (CSA) has a population of 1,356,798; inlcuding 1,003,025 in Kentucky, which is nearly 1/4 of the state's population. Since 2000 over 1/3 of the state's population growth has occurred in the Louisville CSA. In addition, the top 28 wealthiest places in Kentucky are in Jefferson County and seven of the 15 wealthiest counties in Kentucky are located in the Louisville CSA.
Lexington is the second largest city in Kentucky with a census estimated population of 270,789 and its CSA having a population of 645,006. The Northern Kentucky area had an estimated population of 408,783 in 2006. The metropolitan areas of Louisville, Lexington, and Northern Kentucky have a combined population of 2,169,394 as of 2006, which is 51.5% of the state's total population.
The two other fast growing urban areas in Kentucky are the Bowling Green area and the Tri Cities Region of the southeastern Kentucky, comprised of Somerset, London, and Corbin. In northeast Kentucky, the greater Ashland area is an important transportation, manufacturing, and medical center. Iron and petroleum production, as well as the transport of coal by rail and barge, have been historical pillars of the region's economy.
