Glasgow, KY

Glasgow is a city located in the U.S. state of Kentucky. As of the 2010 census, the population was 21,898. Glasgow is home to the University of Kentucky and is an important center for commerce and industry in central Kentucky. The city's economy is based on manufacturing, retail trade, health care, and tourism. Glasgow has a rich history dating back to 1792 when it was founded as a small settlement on the banks of the Cumberland River by James Robertson and his family. The city grew rapidly in the early 19th century as pioneers moved into the area to take advantage of its natural resources, including coal, timber, and limestone. Glasgow became an important commercial center due to its location on major transportation routes between Nashville and Louisville.

Today, Glasgow is a thriving city with many attractions that make it a popular tourist destination. The downtown area features several historic buildings dating back to the early days of the city's development, including the Glasgow City Hall and Union Station. The University of Kentucky campus lies just outside of town near Lexington; this makes Glasgow an important economic hub for both cities. There are also several parks and recreational areas within easy reach of downtown that offer residents and visitors plenty of opportunities for recreation and relaxation.
