Appalachian Kentucky region
Eastern Kentucky is the mountainous Appalachian region of Kentucky, culturally and economically distinct from the rest of the state.
The area is associated with coal mining, rural poverty, and traditional mountain culture: My family's been in eastern Kentucky for six generations.
The region figures prominently in discussions of Appalachian identity and economic hardship.
