Well, this week we celebrate Kentucky's birthday, the founding of Louisville, and the dedication of our current state Capitol building.

Our Toby Gibbs has all of that and much more on this.

Look back at this week in Kentucky History.

Pioneers settle Corn Island on the Ohio River on May 27, 1778.

That settlement would eventually become the city of Louisville.

Three years earlier, on May 28, 1775, an Episcopal minister conducted a worship service at Boonesborough.

This is the first recorded church service in Kentucky.

Governor Augustus Wilson led the dedication of Kentucky's current Capitol building on June 2nd, 1910.

It cost $1.82 million.

A deadly tornado formed in west Tennessee and moved into Kentucky, eventually killing 64 people on May 27, 1970.

Most of the deaths, 42 of them, were from Fulton County.

It's estimated the tornado was an EF four.

165 people died during the Beverly Hills Supper Club Fire in Southgate on May 28, 1977.

The tragedy led to tougher fire codes across America.

John Marshall Harlan was born June 1st, 1833, in Boyle County.

As a Supreme Court justice from 1877 to 1911, he was known as the great dissenter for his opposition to many court decisions.

He often supported civil rights laws opposed by the rest of the court.

And happy birthday to Kentucky.

America's 15th state joined the union on June 1st, 1792.

And that's a look back at this week in Kentucky history.

I'm Toby Gibbs.
