Kentucky was the first area to be settled west of the Allegheny Mountains by American settlers around the Revolutionary War.
The first settlement was Harrodsburg in 1774, established by James Harrod.
Daniel Boone had been exploring the area since 1767. He blazed the Wilderness Trail in the Cumberland Gap and built Boonesboro in 1775.
Originally, Kentucky was a part of Virginia. It gained statehood in 1792. The battle of Fallen Timbers in Ohio fought by General Anthony Wayne against the Indians ended Native American resistance and brought security and safety to Kentucky.
Though Kentucky was a slave holding state, it had a very large abolitionist population. During the Civil War, Kentucky sent thousands of troops to both sides very often with brother fighting brother.
