Kentucky was granted statehood in 1792, becoming the first U.S. state west of the Appalachian Mountains. Frontiersman Daniel Boone was one of Kentucky's most prominent explorers and many immigrants followed the trail he blazed through the Cumberland Gap, known as the Wilderness Road.
Dr. Thomas Walker and Christopher Gist led the first surveying parties into Kentucky in 1750 and 1751, respectively, but the outbreak of British and Native American battles in the French and Indian War in 1754 delayed further exploration of the state for over a decade. Daniel Boone visited Kentucky in 1767. In 1769, with a party of hunters led by John Finley, he returned to Kentucky for a two-year exploration of the region.
In 1774, James Harrod constructed the first permanent settlement in Kentucky at Fort Harrod, the site of present-day Harrodsburg. Boonesboro was established in 1775, and many other settlements were created soon after. Kentucky prides itself on producing some of the nation's best tobacco, horses, and whiskey. Corn, soybeans, wheat, fruit, hogs, cattle, and dairy products are among the agricultural items produced.
The KY state flag consists of a dark blue field with the state seal of Kentucky in the center. The phrase "Commonwealth of Kentucky" is placed around the top half of the seal, while two sprigs of goldenrod, which is the state flower of Kentucky, wrap around the bottom half of the seal.
These suggest Kentucky's country and city inhabitants of 1792, as well as Westerners and Easterners with their common interest in preserving national unity. That theme is reflected in the state motto, "United we stand, divided we fall."
However, the official explanation is that the men represent all frontiersmen and statesmen, rather than any specific persons. The state motto: "United We Stand, Divided We Fall" circles them. The motto comes from the lyrics of "The Liberty Song", a patriotic song from the American Revolution. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Kentucky Flag for the future.
