Kentucky was not one of the original thirteen colonies that became states. The thirteen colonies were (from north to south) New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. If you look at a map, you can see that every one of the original thirteen states bordered on the Atlantic Ocean, which made them among the first areas to be settled Kentucky is west of the original colonies, not on the ocean, and was settled later.
