The Bluegrass region is a geographic region in the U.S. state of Kentucky. It makes up the central and northern part of the state, roughly bounded by the cities of Frankfort, Paris, Richmond and Stanford.[1] It is part of the Interior Low Plateaus ecoregion.
"Bluegrass" is a common name given in the United States for grass of the Poa genus, the most famous being the Kentucky bluegrass.[2] Despite its name, Kentucky Bluegrass is native to Europe and was likely introduced around 1600.[3][4]
