With a population of just 28,602, Frankfort is the 4th-smallest state capital in the U.S. - a sleepy government town with little to offer beyond its historic sites. The muggy, four-season climate can be a slog, while the city's flood-prone location on the Kentucky River is an ever-present headache. Bureaucracy reigns supreme here, as the center of Kentucky's state government. Frankfort is best suited for civil servants and history buffs content with a slow-paced, provincial lifestyle.
