Capital: Frankfort.
Largest city: Louisville.
Joined the US: June 1, 1792 (as the 15th state).
Kentucky is landlocked between seven other states and has the Ohio River as a major northern border.
It is known for its horse racing (such as the Kentucky Derby in Louisville), bourbon whiskey, tobacco, bluegrass music, and beautiful nature, including Mammoth Cave (the longest cave system in the world).
The state features a mix of Appalachian Mountains in the east, fertile pastures in the center, and river landscapes.
Economically, it revolves around horse breeding, distilleries, the automotive industry, and tourism.
In short: a rural, historic state with strong Southern roots, famous for horses, bourbon, and friendly small-town vibes.
