Daniel Boone and other frontiersmen settled in Kentucky, the
"Bluegrass State," in 1769. Its name comes from the Iroquois Indian
word "Ken-tah-ten," or "land of tomorrow." Admitted into the Union in
1792, Kentucky is the 15th state and the first state west of the
Appalachian Mountains. Today, Kentucky is associated with coalmines
and horse farms and racing. America's most prestigious horse race, the
Kentucky Derby, is held in Louisville annually. The state flower is
the goldenrod, the cardinal is the state bird and Frankfort is the
capital.
