Central Kentucky

Central Kentucky is sometimes considered the Central and Southern part of the Bluegrass region, the Far Upper Western Eastern Mountain Coal Fields, and the Far Upper Eastern Pennyroyal regions. Its major cities include Lexington and Frankfort. Lexington citizens, especially radio and TV stations such as WKYT, use the term Central Kentucky the most. The region is notable for its horse farms and more progressive politics as compared to the rest of the state (the only openly gay state legislator, Ernesto Scorsone, was elected from Lexington, and the cities of Frankfort and Georgetown, plus the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government, have enacted smoking bans in public places). This is ironic since Kentucky is the state most perceive as the biggest producer of smoking tobacco in the world not just the United States. The counties of Scott and Franklin grow more tobacco than any other 2 counties in Kentucky. Georgetown is in Scott and Frankfort is in Franklin.
