6 Regions of Kentucky

Kentucky is divided up into six regions. Learn about each one in this video.

As a child in Kentucky, 7th grade history was Kentucky history. We learned about the 6 regions in that class. I was in 7th grade during the 1958/59 school year. That year, 7th grade students across the state created a scrap book about their county and its history. The schools involved in the project all sent their scrap books to Frankfort, the capitol of the Commonwealth. I often wonder what became of all that history researched and compiled by 7th grade students.

Awesome Video. I have seen those Knobs in all but Casey County but did not know they formed the Horseshoe. Thanks for teaching an Old Dog a New Trick!

If your looking for interesting historical sites to visit, Fitchburg Furnace in Estill County is quite awesome. Of course I might be a little biased having grown up in this area.

Where can I find the videos on individual regions? I'd like to have my class each choose one to learn about and share with the class.

What happened to The Ohio River Flood plain?

I live in Harlan County, which is in the Eastern Coalfields region of Kentucky, and it is known well for coal mining. Just as much as places in the Bluegrass region, like Lexington and Louisville, are known well for horse farms.

What about Mt Edens that was in original Shelby County? By 1800 my 4th great Grandfather Robert Gray, wife Mary Yarbrough, and first son James Samuel were there. Robert was awarded land there for his Revolutionary war service in PA and VA. He is buried in Mt Edens. Son James advocated for his step-mother Mary Yarbrough Gray to receive Robert's RW pension.

On the map, under knobs, the arrow is pointing right at me.🕵

[brianstevens]

The map you have shown doesn't look like the ones I remember as a young boy . The knobs doesn't stretch like this in early text books

Very interesting. I grew up in Kentucky and was never taught any of this. Great video!

As a resident, I like to call it Jackson’s Questionable Purchase. If you are a Kentuckian who wants to feel like they live in Tennessee, the JQP is for you. Seriously, they’re probably about to ban books and drag shows and hold a trump rally around the Confederate statue on the court square up in here. Alabamans don’t even think Kentucky is in “the South”. We still have dry counties around here for f’s sake!

Hey this might make a good start on a congressional map! Hell no, screw that, let’s make a district that goes from the JQP all the way to Frankfort, and yoke that city with the incompetence of Jamey Comer’s representation, as if they deserve it having nothing to do with breeding up the likes of that clown who has no business representing them. But yeah, good video on the regions of KY
