a state, however the date is accurate. It was adopted to the United States on 6/1/1792 as a state and later changed into being a Commonwealth, like Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Virginia. It is commonly referred to as a state in generic terminology. However consider the fact that it was admitted to the Union in 1792 as a State. It was the 1850 Constitution that made Kentucky a Commonwealth, and it had already been "a state of the Union" for 58 years when it declared itself to be not a state but a Commonwealth.
It may simply be a matter of semantics, should a US State like California change it's Constitution and declare itself the Ashram of California or the California Commune it would be and remain a US State. Pennsylvania, Massachussetts and Virginia have a legitimate claim to the the title of Commonwealth. Kentucky is more like Constantiople becoming Istanbul or New Amsterdam becoming New York City.
Some would argue that because it is a Commonwealth it has never been a state. In any case it did not become a state or a Commonwealth in 1860 because it joined the Union on 1 June 1792.
