Kentucky is home to two large cities — Louisville and Lexington — as well as many much smaller ones.
Louisville is the largest city in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. It is one of the oldest cities west of the Appalachian Mountains and is located on the Ohio River, where it remains a major port.
Shipping, logistics and distribution are major industries in Louisville. The city is also home to several major manufacturers, whiskey and bourbon distilleries, and (more recently) technology.
Lexington is the second-largest city in Kentucky and is located near the center of the state. It is known as the horse capital of the world and is also at the center of Bluegrass music, tradition and culture.
Lexington has a strong and stable economy, with a particular focus on manufacturing and technology. Government services and healthcare are also well-represented in the city.
Bowling Green is the third-largest city in the state and was listed as one of the top 25 places to retire. The city is a center for manufacturing.
In addition to manufacturing, Bowling Green is moving to a knowledge-based, technology-focused economy. Professional and business services as well as leisure and hospitality are other sectors seeing strong growth.
Owensboro is the fourth-largest city in the state and has a modern, expanding community and economy.
Healthcare, finance, education and food manufacturing are all important to the area’s economy.
