Federated state of the central-eastern USA, 104,661 km², 4,206,074 residents (2006 estimate), 40 inhabitants / km², capital: Frankfort. Borders: Indiana and Ohio (N), West Virginia and Virginia (E), Tennessee (S), Missouri (SW), Illinois (NW).

State Overview

The boundaries are largely natural and formed by the courses of the Ohio River to the N and NW, its tributary Big Sandy to the E and the Mississippi to the SW. From a morphological point of view, Kentucky is characterized in the W by a flat and uniform region, which rises towards E, where it rests on the internal side of the Appalachians; the western belt includes the Western Coal Field, a wavy plain crossed by the Green River and its numerous tributaries, beyond which open, separated by a low hilly ridge (Knobs), the very fertile Bluegrass region to the N and the Pennyroyal Plateau to S. The latter constitutes, together with the Cumberland Plateau further to the E, one of the most interesting tourist regions of the USA.

Economy

The climate favors intensive agriculture; the main products include tobacco, maize, soy, wheat, barley, fruit and vegetables, and a particular type of whiskey, called bourbon, is obtained from the distillation of a mixture of wheat, barley and rye malts.precisely because in Bourbon County, a town in Kentucky, it originated. Cattle breeding is also flourishing, in particular that of purebred horses, cattle and pigs. Forests, which once covered much of the state’s territory, are now present only in the Cumberland plateau; made up of precious trees, they feed a good wood industry. The resources of the subsoil are not consistent, but rather differentiated: coal and oil stand out, followed by iron, lead, zinc, phosphates and building materials. The industries (electrotechnical, mechanical, iron and steel, metallurgical, food, chemical) are concentrated in the capital and cities of Louisville, Lexington, Covington, Owensboro, Bowling Green, Paducah and Ashland.

History

Annexed to the Union as a 15th state in 1792, first explored by the French La Salle in 1669, it was the first territory west of the Alleghenes to be colonized. Crossed in 1750-51 by Thomas Walker and Christopher Gist respectively, in 1769 he was visited by John Finley and Daniel Boone, who stayed there two years and returned there in 1775. In 1774 in the meantime James Harrod had founded Harrodstown (today Harrodsburg) and the the region became populated, despite the ban on expansion to the west established by the Proclamation Line of 1763 and the ferocity of the Indian attacks. Antifederalist, in 1798 he adopted 9 resolutions against the Alien and Sedition Acts that supported the rights of states and affirmed the principle of nullification, to which the subsequent doctrines on the right of annulment and secession referred. At the time of the civil war (1861), however, Kentucky (border state between the slave slave south and the anti-slave north) remained in the Union, with serious internal laceration among its inhabitants, some of whom fought in the southern ranks and part, about the double, in the northern rows.
