History
The name Kentucky comes from the Indian name of the river of the same name, the meaning of which is still disputed. According to one version, the expression means “Dark and bloody hunting territory.” There are also options for “Tomorrow’s Country”, “Land of Meadows”, etc.
Active development of the territory by Europeans began in the second half of the 18th century. From 1767 to 1771, Daniel Boone traveled through the Allegheny Mountains with an expedition. In 1774, James Harrod founded the first permanent settlement of Harrodsburg here.
After the Revolutionary War, the lands of Kentucky were part of Virginia. In 1792, the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Kentucky was adopted, and on June 1 of the same year, Kentucky joined the Union State, becoming the fifteenth state. In 1798 the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions were passed.
During the Civil War, state society split. The state legislature declared allegiance to the Union. Many Kentuckians joined the Unionist Army, but many enlisted in the Confederate Army. In September 1861, Lincoln wrote in a private letter that “the loss of Kentucky would be tantamount to the loss of the entire campaign.” On the territory of the state in the initial phase, hostilities were fought, but from 1862 Kentucky remained in the hands of the northerners until the end of the war.
A new state constitution was adopted in 1891.
