Looking for State Rockers patches for the Bluegrass State? The Cheap Place has many in stock patches for Kentucky! Like the other state rockers, the Kentucky Patch measures 4 by 1.75 inches and is arched so that it fits perfectly on the shoulder of your jacket sleeve. The patch can be sewn on to just about any material thanks to the die cut borders on the patch. It can also be ironed on to just about any non-leather product (leather would be damaged by the heat).
Kentucky is actually officially called the Commonwealth of Kentucky and is one of only four states to be listed as a commonwealth. It was actually a part of Virginia at first, but in 1792, it broke away and became the 15th U.S. state. Its nickname, the Bluegrass State, comes from that fact that bluegrass grows wildly through the state and can be found in many fields. The state's name comes from the Iroquois word for 'meadow lands', a reference to the fact that the tribe often hunted buffalo on the savannas of central Kentucky.
Kentucky is very famous for horse racing, and the biggest horse racing event in the U.S., the Kentucky Derby, is held in Louisville. The state is also known for producing bourbon, bluegrass music, and tobacco. While Louisville is the largest city in Kentucky, the capital of the state is actually Frankfort. You'll certainly want to visit Louisville if you're in Kentucky, but there are a number of other places to visit as well. They include the world's longest cave system in Mammoth Cave National Park, the Black Mountain, Breaks Interstate Park, the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln in Hodgenville, and Bardstown, the major bourbon-producing city of the state.
