Kentucky Overview

Kentucky has 4.4 million residents (2016). The capital is Frankfort and the largest city is Louisville.

In the 17th century, Spaniards and French were the first Europeans to explore present-day Kentucky. British and their descendants arrived in the 18th century. American pioneer Daniel Boone (1734-1820) explored the region in 1769. In the following years, Boone guided many settlers to Kentucky, which became a state in 1792.
