Kentucky, the "Bluegrass State," became the 15th U.S. state in 1792 and played a unique role in American history as a Civil War border state. Known for its equestrian heritage, it hosts the world-famous Kentucky Derby. The state's economy historically revolved around agriculture, with tobacco and horse breeding as key industries. Coal mining also became significant, especially in the Appalachian region. Kentucky is a cultural hub, influencing American music with its roots in bluegrass and country. Today, it balances tradition with modern industry, maintaining a strong agricultural and equine presence.
