Bowling Green: Corvettes, Caves, and a College Town
Bowling Green sits in south-central Kentucky along the Barren River. The city served briefly as the Confederate capital of Kentucky during the Civil War, though Union forces recaptured it in February 1862. After the war, the railroad connections that had made it strategically valuable shifted its economy toward manufacturing and trade.
General Motors chose Bowling Green in 1981 as the sole manufacturing site for the Chevrolet Corvette, and the assembly plant continues to produce every Corvette sold worldwide. The National Corvette Museum, located across the road from the plant, drew international attention in 2014 when a sinkhole opened beneath its floor and swallowed eight cars. The region's karst geology, the same geology responsible for Mammoth Cave roughly 30 miles to the northeast, makes sinkholes a recurring issue.
Western Kentucky University, founded in 1906, enrolls around 16,000 students and is one of the city's major employers. The campus occupies a hilltop overlooking downtown. Bowling Green has also become one of the most ethnically diverse small cities in Kentucky, with significant Bosnian, Burmese, and Somali refugee communities that have settled here since the 1990s through resettlement programs.
