About Kentucky
The Commonwealth of Kentucky became the 15th U.S. state when it
was admitted to the U.S. in 1792.
Kentucky and its residents are most well known for thoroughbred
horses and horse racing, local bourbon whisky distilleries, bluegrass
music and enthusiasm for basketball, particularly for the two principal
basketball rivals in the state—the blue and white Wildcats
of the University of Kentucky and the red and black Cardinals of
the University of Louisville. Sports rivalries between the University
of Kentucky and the Universities of Tennessee, Indiana and North
Carolina have also long existed. While Kentucky's pastimes are distinctly
those of the South, Kentuckian cuisine is considered to be a synergistic
blend of Midwestern cuisine and Southern US cuisine.
Origin of name
It was once believed that the name Kentucky was derived from the
Native American word meaning "dark and bloody hunting ground,"
which is believed to be due to the fact that many Native American
tribes went there to hunt in the game-rich forests and often fought
each other there. However, it is now most commonly believed that
the name Kentucky can be attributed to various Native American languages
with several possible meanings from "land of tomorrow"
to "cane and turkey lands" to "meadow lands."
This last may come from the Iroquois name for the Shawnee town Eskippathiki.
The name Kentucky referred originally to the Kentucky River and
from that came the name of the region.
Regions
Bluegrass Region The Bluegrass region is commonly divided into
two regions, the Inner Bluegrass - the encircling ninety miles around
Lexington - and the Outer Bluegrass, the region that contains most
of the Northern portion of the state, above the Knobs.
