Frankfort was chosen the capital of Kentucky in 1792, as a compromise between Louisville and Lexington, who both wanted the seat for their cities.

While government plays a major role in Frankfort's economy, rich burley tobacco and corn farmlands and bourbon distilleries are also important industries for the city and surrounding area.
