'''Persemakmuran Kentucky''' adalah sebuah [[negara bagian Amerika Serikat]] yang terletak di bagian [[Amerika Serikat bagian Selatan|selatan]] [[Amerika Serikat]], meskipun secara geografis kadang-kadang juga dimasukkan ke dalam [[Barat tengah Amerika Serikat|Barat tengah]]. Pada 1792, Kentucky menjadi negara bagian ke-15 yang bergabung dalam Uni. Kentucky terkenal sebagai "Negara bagian Bluegrass", sebuah julukan yang didasarkan pada kenyataan bahwa [[Poa|rumput biru]] terdapat di banyak padang rumput di seluruh negara bagian ini. Kentucky juga terkenal karena [[thoroughbred|kuda-kuda thoroughbrednya]], [[pacuan kuda]], penyulingan [[wiski bourbon]], [[musik bluegrass]] dan [[bola basket sekolah tinggi]]nya.

Yang lain menyarankan istilah ''Kenta Aki'', yang mungkin berasal dari [[bahasa Algonquian]] dan mungkin berasal dari [[Shawnee]]. Folk etimologi menerjemahkan ini sebagai "Tanah Bapa Kami". Perkiraan terdekat dalam bahasa Algonquian lain, [[Ojibwe]], diterjemahkan sebagai "Tanah Mertua Kami", sehingga membuat terjemahan bahasa Inggris yang lebih adil "Tanah Mereka yang Menjadi Ayah Kami".<ref>Nichols, John & Nyholm , Earl. ''Kamus Ringkas Minnesota Ojibwe'', 1994.</ref> Bagaimanapun, kata ''aki'' berarti "tanah" dalam kebanyakan bahasa Algonquian. Beberapa juga berteori bahwa nama Kentucky mungkin merupakan korupsi dari kata Catawba, mengacu pada [[orang Catawba|Catawba]] orang yang mendiami Kentucky.

==Sejarah==
Kentucky berbatasan dengan negara-negara bagian di [[Barat tengah]] dan [[Tenggara]]. [[West Virginia]] dan [[Virginia]] terletak di sebelah timurnya; [[Tennessee]] di selatan; [[Missouri]] di sebelah barat; dan [[Illinois]], [[Indiana]], serta [[Ohio]] di utara.
 
{{Main|Sejarah di Kentucky}}
<!--The [[Commonwealth (United States)|Commonwealth]]'s northern border is formed by the [[Ohio River]], and the western border is formed by the [[Mississippi River]]. Other major rivers in Kentucky include the [[Kentucky River]], [[Tennessee River]], the [[Cumberland River]], the [[Green River (Kentucky)|Green River]], and the [[Licking River]].

===Pemukiman penduduk asli Amerika===
Kentucky can be divided into five primary regions: the [[Cumberland Mountains]] and [[Cumberland Plateau]] in the southeast, the north-central [[Bluegrass region]], the south-central and western [[Pennyroyal Plateau]], also sometimes termed "Pennyrile" with cities such as [[Elizabethtown, Kentucky|Elizabethtown]] and [[Bowling Green, Kentucky|Bowling Green]], the western coal-fields area, and the far-west [[Jackson Purchase]].
 
Tidak diketahui secara pasti kapan manusia pertama tiba di tempat yang sekarang disebut Kentucky. Berdasarkan bukti di wilayah lain, manusia kemungkinan besar tinggal di Kentucky sebelum 10.000 SM, tetapi "bukti arkeologis dari pendudukan mereka belum didokumentasikan".<ref name="Pollack">{{cite report |last1=Pollack |first1=David |first2=M.

Sekitar 900 CE, [[budaya Mississippian]] berakar di Kentucky barat dan tengah; sebaliknya, [[Benteng Budaya Kuno]] muncul di Kentucky timur. Sementara keduanya memiliki banyak kesamaan, gundukan tanah seremonial yang khas yang dibangun di pusat-pusat yang pertama bukanlah bagian dari budaya yang terakhir.

Kentucky is the only U.S. state to have a non-contiguous part exist as an [[enclave]] of another state. Far western Kentucky includes a small part of land, [[Kentucky Bend]], on the Mississippi River bordered by Missouri and accessible via Tennessee, created by the [[New Madrid Earthquake]].
 
Pada sekitar abad ke-10, varietas jagung penduduk asli Kentucky menjadi sangat produktif, menggantikan [[Kompleks Pertanian Timur]], dan menggantikannya dengan pertanian berbasis jagung di [[budaya Mississippi|era Mississippi]]. Penjelajah Prancis pada abad ke-17 mendokumentasikan banyak suku yang tinggal di Kentucky hingga [[Perang Berang-berang]] pada tahun 1670-an; namun, pada saat penjelajah dan pemukim kolonial Eropa mulai memasuki Kentucky dalam jumlah yang lebih besar pada pertengahan abad ke-18, tidak ada pemukiman penduduk asli Amerika yang besar di wilayah tersebut.
The Bluegrass region is commonly divided into two regions, the Inner Bluegrass&mdash;the encircling 90 [[mile]]s (145&nbsp;km) around [[Lexington, Kentucky|Lexington]]&mdash;and the Outer Bluegrass, the region that contains most of the Northern portion of the state, above the [[Knobs region|Knobs]]. Much of the outer Bluegrass is in the [[Eden Shale Hills]] area, made up of short, steep, and very narrow hills.
 
Pada abad ke-16, daerah yang dikenal sebagai Kentucky adalah rumah bagi suku-suku dari lima kelompok budaya yang berbeda{{snd}}Iroquoian, Sioux, Algonquian, Muskogean, dan Yuchi. Di sekitar Sungai Bluestone adalah Siouan [[Tutelo]]. Di utara Sungai Tennessee adalah [[Yuchi]] dan di selatan adalah [[Cherokee]].

===Pemukiman Eropa===
Although inhabited by [[Native Americans in the United States|Native Americans]] in prehistoric times, when explorers and settlers began entering Kentucky in the mid-1700s, there were no permanent Native American settlements in the region. Instead, the country was used as hunting grounds by [[Shawnee]]s from the north and [[Cherokee]]s from the south. Much of what is now Kentucky was purchased from Native Americans in the treaties of [[Treaty of Fort Stanwix|Fort Stanwix]] (1768) and [[Treaty of Sycamore Shoals|Sycamore Shoals]] (1775). Thereafter, Kentucky grew rapidly as the first settlements west of the [[Appalachian Mountains]] were founded, with settlers (primarily from Virginia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania) entering the region via the [[Cumberland Gap]] and the [[Ohio River]]. The most famous of these early explorers and settlers was [[Daniel Boone]], traditionally considered one of the founders of the state. Shawnees north of the Ohio River, however, were unhappy about the settlement of Kentucky, and allied themselves with the British in the [[American Revolutionary War]] (1775–1783). Kentucky was a battleground during the war; the [[Battle of Blue Licks]], one of the last major battles of the Revolution, was fought in Kentucky.

Pada 1774 James Harrod mendirikan pemukiman Eropa permanen pertama di Kentucky di lokasi Harrodsburg saat ini.
After the American Revolution, the counties of [[Virginia]] beyond the Appalachian Mountains became known as Kentucky County. Eventually, the residents of Kentucky County petitioned for a separation from Virginia. Ten constitutional conventions were held in the Constitution Square Courthouse in [[Danville, Kentucky|Danville]] between 1784 and 1792. In 1790, Kentucky's delegates accepted Virginia's terms of separation, and a state constitution was drafted at the final convention in April 1792. On [[June 1]], [[1792]], Kentucky became the fifteenth state to be admitted to the union and [[Isaac Shelby]], a military veteran from Virginia, was elected the first Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
 
===County of Kentucky dan negara bagian===
While remaining loyal to the [[Union (American Civil War)|Union]], Kentucky was a [[Border states (Civil War)|border state]] during the [[American Civil War]]. The state did not secede, and was officially neutral until a new legislature took office on [[August 5]], [[1861]] with strong Union sympathies. The majority of the Commonwealth's citizens also had strong Union sympathies. On September 4, 1861, [[Confederate States of America|Confederate]] General [[Leonidas Polk]] broke Kentucky's neutrality by invading [[Columbus, Kentucky]]. As a result of the Confederate invasion, Union General [[Ulysses S. Grant]] entered [[Paducah, Kentucky]]. On [[September 7]], [[1861]], the Kentucky State Legislature, angered by the Confederate invasion, ordered the Union flag to be raised over the state capitol in [[Frankfort, Kentucky|Frankfort]], declaring its allegiance with the Union. In November of 1861, during the [[Russellville Convention]], Southern sympathizers attempted to establish an alternative state government with the goal of secession but failed to displace the legitimate government in Frankfort. On [[August 13]], [[1862]], Confederate General [[Edmund Kirby Smith]]'s Army of East [[Tennessee]] invaded Kentucky and on [[August 28]], [[1862]], Confederate General [[Braxton Bragg]]'s Army of [[Mississippi]] entered Kentucky beginning the Kentucky Campaign. Bragg's retreat following the [[Battle of Perryville]] left the state under the control of the Union Army for the remainder of the war.

Pada tanggal 31 Desember 1776, dengan tindakan [[Majelis Umum Virginia]], bagian dari [[Fincastle County]] barat Appalachian membentang ke Sungai Mississippi, yang sebelumnya dikenal sebagai wilayah Kentucky (atau Kentucke), dibagi ke daerahnya sendiri [[Kentucky County, Virginia|Kentucky]]. Harrod's Town (Oldtown seperti yang dikenal pada saat itu) dinamai county seat. Kabupaten ini dibagi lagi menjadi [[Jefferson County, Kentucky|Jefferson]], [[Lincoln County, Kentucky|Lincoln]] dan [[Fayette County, Kentucky|Fayette]] County pada tahun 1780, tetapi terus dikelola sebagai Distrik Kentucky bahkan ketika kabupaten baru dipecah.
===Assassination of Governor William J. Goebel===
The election of [[William S. Taylor]] as Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky on the [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican Party]] ticket in 1899 was an unexpected turn of events. To date, this is the closest gubernatorial election in Kentucky history. Supporters of [[William Goebel]], his [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]] opponent, contested the election.
 
Pada beberapa kesempatan, penduduk wilayah itu mengajukan petisi kepada Majelis Umum dan [[Kongres Konfederasi]] untuk pemisahan dari Virginia dan [[A.S. negara|kenegaraan]]. Sepuluh konvensi konstitusional diadakan di [[Danville, Kentucky|Danville]] antara tahun 1784 dan 1792.
The [[Kentucky Senate]] formed a special Committee of Inquiry packed with Democratic members. It was apparent to Taylor's adherents that the committee would decide in favor of Goebel, and on [[January 19]], [[1900]], a force of more than 1,500 armed civilians took possession of the Capital. For more than two weeks the [[United States]] watched as the Commonwealth of Kentucky slid towards civil war. Martial law was declared and the Kentucky militia was activated.
Satu petisi, yang mendapat persetujuan Virginia, diajukan di hadapan Kongres Konfederasi pada awal Juli 1788. Sayangnya, pertimbangannya muncul sehari demi hari dari [[New Hampshire]] yang sangat penting kesembilan [[Pasal Tujuh Konstitusi Amerika Serikat|ratifikasi]] dari [[Konstitusi Amerika Serikat|Konstitusi]] yang diusulkan, sehingga menetapkannya sebagai kerangka pemerintahan baru untuk Amerika Serikat. Mengingat perkembangan ini, Kongres berpikir bahwa "tidak disarankan" untuk mengakui Kentucky ke dalam Serikat, karena hal itu hanya dapat dilakukan "berdasarkan Anggaran Konfederasi", tetapi tidak "di bawah Konstitusi", dan karenanya menolak untuk mengambil tindakan. .<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Kesavan|first1=Vasan|title=Kapan Anggaran Dasar Konfederasi Berhenti Menjadi Hukum|journal=Tinjauan Hukum Notre Dame|date=1 Desember 2002|volume=78|issue= 1|pages=70–71|url=http://scholarship.law.nd.edu/ndlr/vol78/iss1/3|access-date=31 Oktober 2015}}</ref>
 
Pada tanggal 18 Desember 1789, Virginia kembali memberikan persetujuannya kepada negara bagian Kentucky. [[Kongres Amerika Serikat]] memberikan persetujuannya pada tanggal 4 Februari 1791.<ref>{{USStat|1|189}}</ref> (Ini terjadi dua minggu sebelum Kongres menyetujui petisi [[Vermont]] untuk kenegaraan.<ref>{{USStat|1|191}}</ref>) Kentucky secara resmi menjadi negara bagian kelima belas di Uni pada 1 Juni 1792. [[Isaac Shelby]], seorang veteran militer dari Virginia, terpilih Gubernur pertama.<ref>{{cite web|title=Constitution Square State Historic Site |publisher=Biro Konvensi dan Pengunjung Danville-Boyle County |url=http://www.danville-ky.com/attractions2.php?category= History%20and%20Museum |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071011230008/http://danville-ky.com/attractions2.php?category=History%20and%20Museum |archive-date= 11 Oktober 2007 |access-date=29 November 2006 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
On [[January 30]], [[1900]], Goebel, accompanied by two bodyguards, was shot by a sniper as he approached the Capital. Though mortally wounded, Goebel was sworn in as [[List of Governors of Kentucky|Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky]] the next day. Goebel died on [[February 3]], [[1900]] from his wounds.
For nearly four months after Governor Goebel’s death, Kentucky had two officials functioning as the commonwealth’s chief executive; Taylor, who insisted he was the governor, and [[J. C. W. Beckham]], running mate of Governor Goebel, who was sworn in when the latter died.
 
===Hubungan Antara Penduduk Asli Amerika dan Pemukim Eropa===
Governor Beckham requested federal aid in determining, who Kentucky’s chief executive was. The [[United States Supreme Court|U.S. Supreme Court]] finally reached a decision on [[May 26]], [[1900]] upholding the Commission’s ruling that Goebel was in fact Kentucky’s governor, and his [[lieutenant governor]] (Beckham) had followed Kentucky’s line of succession and was now Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
Immediately following the court’s decision, Taylor fled to the [[State of Indiana]] and was later indicted as one of the conspirators in the assassination of Governor Goebel. Attempts to extradite him failed, and Taylor remained in Indiana until he died.

Kentucky berbatasan dengan negara-negara bagian di [[Barat tengah]] dan [[Tenggara]]. [[Virginia Barat]] dan [[Virginia]] terletak di sebelah timurnya; [[Tennessee]] di selatan; [[Missouri]] di sebelah barat; dan [[Illinois]], [[Indiana]], serta [[Ohio]] di utara.
[[Image:Kentucky_population_map.png|thumb|left|260px|Kentucky Population Density Map]]
As of 2005, Kentucky has an estimated population of 4,173,405, which is an increase of 31,570, or 0.8%, from the prior year and an increase of 131,120, or 3.2%, since the year 2000. This includes a natural increase since the last census of 77,156 people (that is 287,222 births minus 210,066 deaths) and an increase due to net migration of 59,604 people into the state. Immigration from outside the United States resulted in a net increase of 27,435 people, and migration within the country produced a net increase of 32,169 people.
 
===Wilayah===
As of 2004, Kentucky's population included about 95,000 foreign-born (2.3%).
 
[[File:KYphysiography.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|Wilayah Kentucky (klik gambar untuk informasi kode warna)]]
In racial and ethnic terms, the population is:
*89.3% [[Whites|White]], not of Hispanic origin
*7.3% [[African American|Black]]
*1.5% [[Hispanic American|Hispanic]] of any race
*0.7% [[Asian American|Asian]]
*0.2% [[Native Americans in the United States|Native American]]
*1.1% [[Mixed race]]
 
Kentucky dapat dibagi menjadi lima wilayah utama: [[Cumberland Plain|Dataran Tinggi Cumberland]] di timur, yang memiliki banyak tambang batu bara bersejarah; utara-tengah [[Bluegrass|Bluegrass region]], di mana kota-kota besar dan ibu kota berada; [[Dataran Tinggi Pennyroyal]] selatan-tengah dan barat (juga dikenal sebagai Dataran Tinggi Pennyrile atau Mississippi); [[Batubara|Ladang Batubara Barat]]; dan barat jauh [[Pembelian Jackson]].
The five largest ancestries in the commonwealth are: [[American ancestry|American]] (20.9%), [[German-American|German]] (12.7%), [[Irish American|Irish]] (10.5%), [[British American|English]] (9.7%), [[African American]] (7.3%).
 
Wilayah Bluegrass biasanya dibagi menjadi dua wilayah, Bluegrass Dalam yang mengelilingi {{convert|90|mi|km}} di sekitar [[Lexington, Kentucky|Lexington]], dan Outer Bluegrass yang berisi sebagian besar bagian utara negara bagian , di atas [[Knob region|Knobs]]. Sebagian besar Bluegrass terluar berada di area [[Eden Shale Hills]], terdiri dari perbukitan pendek, curam, dan sangat sempit.
Blacks, who made up one-fourth of Kentucky's population prior to the [[American Civil War]], declined in number as many moved to the industrial North in the [[Great Migration]]. Today they are mostly concentrated in the southwest (notably Christian County and the city of Paducah), the Bluegrass, and the cities of Louisville and Lexington. "American ancestry" is the largest reported ancestry group throughout most of the commonwealth in the Census.

Terletak di bagian tenggara Amerika Utara, Kentucky memiliki iklim yang paling tepat digambarkan sebagai [[Iklim subtropis basah|iklim subtropis lembab]] (Köppen: ''Cfa''), hanya daerah kecil yang lebih tinggi di tenggara negara bagian yang memiliki [[Iklim lautan|iklim samudera]] (''Cfb'') dipengaruhi oleh [[Pegunungan Appalachia|Appalachian]].<ref>{{Citation|last=Peterson|first=Adam|title=Bahasa Inggris: Tipe iklim Köppen di Amerika Serikat |date=18 Agustus 2016|url=https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:US_50_states_K%C3%B6ppen.svg|access-date=4 Maret 2019}}</ref> Suhu di Kentucky biasanya berkisar dari suhu tertinggi musim panas di siang hari {{convert|87|°F}} hingga titik terendah musim dingin {{convert|23|°F}}.

Religious movements were important in the early history of Kentucky.
Perhaps the most famous event was the interdenominational revival in August 1801 at the Cane Ridge Meeting house in Bourbon County. As part of what is now known as the "Western Revival", thousands began meeting around a Presbyterian communion service on August 6, 1801, and ended six days later on August 12, 1801 when both humans and horses ran out of food. The service was originally scheduled for August 8, but people began arriving two days earlier on a rainy August 6. The meeting was hosted by Barton Stone. Presbyterians, Methodists and some Baptists were present, as the services attempted to be interdominational as possible.
As the days wore on, some counted as many as seven preachers preaching at the same time from tree stumps or wagons.

==Economy==

The total gross state product for 2003 was US$129 billion. Its per-capita personal income was US$26,575, 41st in the nation. Kentucky's agricultural outputs are horses, cattle, tobacco, dairy products, hogs, soybeans, and corn. Its industrial outputs are transportation equipment, chemical products, electric equipment, machinery, food processing, tobacco products, coal, and tourism.
 
There are 5 [[income tax]] brackets, ranging from 2 percent to 6 percent of personal income. The sales tax rate in Kentucky is 6 percent. Kentucky has a broadly based classified [[property tax]] system. All classes of property, unless exempted by the Constitution, are taxed by the state, although at widely varying rates. And many of these classes are exempted from taxation by local government. Of the classes that are subject to local taxation, three have special rates set by the General Assembly, one by the Kentucky Supreme Court and the remaining classes are subject to the full local rate, which includes the tax rate set by the local taxing bodies plus all voted levies. Real property is assessed on 100 percent of the fair market value and property taxes are due by Dec. 31. Once the primary source of state and local government revenue, property taxes now account for only about 6 percent of the Kentucky's annual General Fund revenues.
 
Kentucky imposes a tax on intangible personal property held by a taxpayer on Jan. 1 of each year. Intangible property consists of any property or investment which represents evidence of value or the right to value. Some types of intangible property include: money market accounts, bonds, notes, retail repurchase agreements, accounts receivable, trusts, enforceable contracts sale of real estate (land contracts), money in hand, money in safe deposit boxes, annuities, interests in estates, loans to stockholders, and commercial paper.
 
Historically, a major problem with Kentucky's economy has been that fact that outside the [[Ohio River]] towns and [[Lexington, Kentucky|Lexington]], most rural counties never developed a widespread and localized industrial economy; meaning that up until [[World War II]] most families still depended on subsistence farming for survival. This is also the reason that most rural counties have only one sizeable town and still have median household incomes that are often half the U.S. national average.
 
==="Unbridled Spirit"===
{{sect-stub}}
To "boost Kentucky’s image, make it consistent through all the ways we reach people, and help Kentucky stand out from the crowd" the Fletcher administration launched a comprehensive [[brand]]ing campaign with the hope of making its $12 - $14 million advertising budget more effective. The "Unbridled Spirit" brand was the result of a $500,000 contract with New West, a Kentucky-based public relations, advertising and marketing firm to develop a viable brand and tagline. The administration has been aggressively marketing the brand in both the public and private sectors. The "Welcome to Kentucky" signs at border areas have Unbridled Spirit's symbol on them. <ref>http://kentucky.gov/unbridledspirit/info.htm</ref>
 
==Transportation==
{{sect-stub}}
Major U.S. [[Interstate Highway System|interstate highways]] servicing Kentucky include:
[[Interstate 24|I-24]], [[Interstate 65|I-65]], [[Interstate 64|I-64]], [[Interstate 71|I-71]], [[Interstate 75|I-75]], [[Interstate 264 (Kentucky)|I-264]], [[Interstate 265|I-265]].
 
Kentucky and [[Missouri]] are the only two states to share a boundary with no road directly connecting the two states. This is a result of the multiplexing of US Highways 51, 60, and 62 crossing the [[Ohio River]] between [[Illinois]] and Kentucky, and the multiplexing of US Highways 60 and 62 crossing the [[Mississippi River]] between Illinois and Missouri, rather than US Highways 60 and 62 crossing the Mississippi River directly from Kentucky to Missouri.
 
==Law and government==
Currently Kentucky's governor, [[Ernie Fletcher]], both US Senators, [[Jim Bunning]] and [[Mitch McConnell]], and five of its six US Congressman are members of the [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican Party]]. The Kentucky Constitution provides for three "departments" of government: legislative, judicial, and executive. Kentucky's [[Kentucky General Assembly|General Assembly]] has two chambers: the [[Kentucky Senate|Senate]] and the [[Kentucky House of Representatives|House of Representatives]]. The executive branch is headed by the [[Governor of Kentucky|Governor]]. See [[List of Kentucky Governors]]. The judicial branch of Kentucky is made up of trial courts, called District and Circuit Courts; an intermediate appellate court, called the [[Kentucky Court of Appeals]]; and a court of last resort, the [[Kentucky Supreme Court]]. The Attorney General is [[Greg Stumbo]].
 
===Politics===
Historically, Kentucky has been very hard fought and leaned slightly towards the Democratic Party. It was never included among the "Solid South," 59% of the state's voters are officially registered as Democrats, although that majority has slimmed substantially in recent election cycles. Kentucky has voted Republican in five of the last seven presidential elections but has supported the Democratic candidates of the South. The Commonwealth supported Democrats [[Jimmy Carter]] in 1976, and [[Bill Clinton]] in 1992 and 1996, but Republican [[George W. Bush]] in 2000 and 2004. Bush won the state's 8 electoral votes overwhelmingly in 2004 by a margin of 20 percentage points and 59.6% of the vote. The most solidly Democratic counties are in the mountainous eastern unionized coal mining region, especially Pike, Floyd, Knott, Menifee, Letcher, Perry and Breathitt, and the cities of Lexington and Louisville. The [[Jackson Purchase]] area in the far west was historically a Democratic stronghold but has moved Republican recently.

==Important cities and towns==
Kentucky's largest cities and most of the fast growing counties are concentrated in what is referred to as the [[Golden Triangle (Kentucky)|Golden Triangle]], which is almost entirely in the [[Bluegrass region]], with the exception of [[Hardin County, Kentucky|Hardin]], [[Meade County, Kentucky|Meade]] and [[LaRue County, Kentucky|LaRue]] counties which are in the [[Pennyroyal Plateau|Pennyroyal region]].
 
The largest city in Kentucky is [[Louisville, Kentucky|Louisville Metro]], with a 2004 census estimated population of 556,332. The Kentucky side of the Louisville CSA has a population of 1,120,039. The second largest city is Lexington with 260,512 people, with its CSA having an estimated population of 635,547 in 2005. The [[Northern Kentucky]] area (the seven Kentucky counties in the [[Cincinnati]] CSA) had an estimated population of 403,727 in 2005. The metropolitan areas of Louisville, Lexington, and Northern Kentucky have a combined population of 2,159,313 as of 2005, which is 51.7% of the state's total population.
 
The two other fast growing urban areas in Kentucky are the [[Bowling Green, Kentucky|Bowling Green]] area and the "Tri Cities Region" of southeastern Kentucky, comprised of [[Somerset, Kentucky|Somerset]], [[London, Kentucky|London]], and [[Corbin, Kentucky|Corbin]].
 
Although only one town in the "Tri Cities", namely Somerset, currently has more than 10,000 people, the area has been experiencing heightened population and job growth since the 1990s. Growth has been especially rapid in Laurel County, which outgrew areas such as Scott and Jessamine counties around Lexington or Shelby and Nelson Counties around Louisville. [[London, Kentucky]] is currently on pace to double its population in the 2000s from 5,692 in 2000 to 10,879 in 2010. London also landed a [[Wal-Mart]] distribution center in 1997, bringing thousands of jobs to the community.
 
In northeast Kentucky, the greater [[Ashland, Kentucky|Ashland]] area is an important transportation and manufacturing center. [[Iron]] and [[petroleum]] production, as well as the transport of coal by rail and [[barge]], have been historical pillars of the region's economy. Due to a decline in the area's industrial base, Ashland has seen a sizable reduction in its population since 1990. The population of the area has since stabilized, however, with the medical service industry taking a greater role in the local economy. The Ashland area, including the Kentucky counties of [[Boyd County, Kentucky|Boyd]] and [[Greenup County, Kentucky|Greenup]], is a part of the [[Huntington, West Virginia|Huntington]]-Ashland, [[West Virginia|WV]]-[[Kentucky|KY]]-[[Ohio|OH]], [[Metropolitan Statistical Area]] (MSA). As of the 2000 census, the MSA had a population of 288,649. About 20,000 of those people reside within the city limits of Ashland.

According to ''[[Sports Illustrated]]'''s 50th edition Kentucky profile, 63% of Kentuckians are [[Kentucky Wildcats]] fans, while 16% are [[Louisville Cardinals]] fans. [http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/magazine/features/si50/states/kentucky/] The same poll found that 87% thought that the [[rival]]ry between the Wildcats and the Cardinals was the state's biggest, and a plurality (38%) considered former UK and current U of L men's basketball coach [[Rick Pitino]] the "enemy of the state."

[[Image:Purplepeoplebridge.jpg|thumb|300px|The [[Purple People Bridge]] between Newport and [[Cincinnati, Ohio]].]]
Kentucky is home to no major league sports team but several minor league teams. However, the northern part of the state lies across the [[Ohio River]] from [[Cincinnati, Ohio]], which is home to an [[National Football League]] team, the [[Cincinnati Bengals|Bengals]], and a [[Major League Baseball]] team, the [[Cincinnati Reds|Reds]]. It is not uncommon for fans to park in the city of [[Newport, Kentucky]], and use the [[Newport Southbank Bridge|Newport Southbank Pedestrian Bridge]], locally known as the "Purple People Bridge" , to walk to these games in Cincinnati. Many restaurants and stores in Newport rely on business from these fans. Also, the city of [[Georgetown, Kentucky]], is the location for the Bengals' summer training camp.

==Miscellaneous topics==
Kentucky is well known for [[thoroughbreds|thoroughbred horses]], [[horse racing]], local bourbon [[whisky]] distilleries, [[bluegrass music]], and [[college basketball]]. While Kentucky's pastimes are distinctly those of the South, [[Kentucky cuisine|the state's cuisine]] is considered to be a synergistic blend of [[Midwestern cuisine]] and [[Southern US cuisine]].
 
===Origin of name===
{{unreferenced}}
It was once believed that the name Kentucky was derived from the [[Native Americans in the United States|Native American]] word, Kan-Tuc-Kee, meaning "dark and bloody hunting ground," which is believed to be due to the fact that many Native American tribes went there to hunt in the game-rich forests and often fought each other there. However, it is now most commonly believed that the name Kentucky can be attributed to various Native American languages with several possible meanings from "land of tomorrow" to "cane and turkey lands" to "meadow lands." This last may come from the [[Iroquois]] name for the [[Shawnee]] town [[Eskippathiki]]. The name Kentucky referred originally to the [[Kentucky River]] and from that came the name of the region.
