Kentucky is a state in the United States, located in the southeastern part of the country. It is bordered by Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio to the north; West Virginia to the northeast; Virginia to the east; Tennessee to the south; and Missouri to the west. The Ohio River forms its northern border, and its eastern edge rises into the Appalachian region. The state capital is Frankfort, and its largest city is Louisville. Kentucky is commonly known as the Bluegrass State, a nickname derived from the bluegrass found in its pastures.
