Kentucky is known as Bluegrass country and the state of beautiful racehorses. It is the place where every year the popular horserace The Kentucky Derby is run in Louisville. The name of the state comes from an Iroquois Indian word “Ken-tah-ten” which means “land of tomorrow”. It is interesting that the Indians thought this of Kentucky. It is the 15th state to join the Union and the first to become a state west of the Appalachian Mountains.
