About: Ballard County, Kentucky   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

Ballard County is sometimes referred to as the "Kneecap of the South". Although Kentucky was neutral in the Civil war and north of the dotted Mason-Dixon line, the mile-wide Ohio River at the westerly portion of The Commonwealth formed a very real border between the Union and the Confederacy. Because the Ohio flows into the Mississippi here, the two rivers form a knee-shaped border on the North and West of the Jackson_Purchase region. The counties along the Mississippi: Ballard, Carlisle, Hickman and Fulton form what is known as "The West Coast of Kentucky".
