Frankfort
Bluegrass State capital
Frankfort is the capital city of Kentucky, located in the north-central part of the state along the Kentucky River.
Despite being the state capital, it is relatively small compared to Louisville or Lexington: We drove through Frankfort on our way to Lexington. (Frankfurt, spelled with a U, is the German city.)
