In 1775, Daniel Boone led a band of settlers through Kentucky’s frontier to establish the town of Boonesborough. He also widened and improved the trail across the Cumberland Gap so that wagons could travel through. This trail became known as the Wilderness Road. Many settlers over the coming years used this trail to settle Kentucky.
Soon the people wanted to make their own government and applied for statehood on June 1, 1792. Kentucky was granted statehood and became the 15th state admitted to the union, as well the first U.S. state west of the Appalachian Mountains.
Kentucky’s heritage is synonymous with Thoroughbred breeding and horse racing. Celebrated as the Horse Capital of the World and renowned for the legendary Kentucky Derby. “The Run for the Roses” ranks first in North America and surpasses the attendance of all other stakes races.
Known as the “home of bourbon,” Kentucky boasts some of the richest, most fertile soil in the country, ideal for growing the major ingredient in bourbon, corn. In 1964 Congress declared bourbon “America’s native spirit” and it became the country’s official distilled spirit.
Enriched with prominent people, places, and landmarks, the Commonwealth of Kentucky is revered for its distinguished pride, indomitable character, and unbridled spirit. No matter where you are from in “The Bluegrass State” this is a region with a proud heritage and enduring legacy!
