Welcome to Kentucky

Kentucky, admitted to the Union as the 15th state on June 1, 1792, is renowned as the Bluegrass State—a nickname derived from the abundant Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis), a species introduced by European settlers that thrives in the state's fertile soils and underpins its thriving thoroughbred horse industry. As of 2021, Kentucky hosts approximately 380,051 small businesses, which employ 685,426 individuals, accounting for 42.4% of the private workforce and comprising 99.3% of all businesses in the state.
