haha.....ok now you are hitting home!

When I visited up there during college I used to constantly ask where the bowling lanes were when we'd walk across the intramural fields!

thanks! Your question totally brought back memories. :)

History of Bowling Green

At the behest of a petition by the new residents, in December 1796 the General Assembly passed an act, effective in March 1797, to establish Warren County, named to honor Dr. Joseph Warren, a hero of the Battle of Bunker Hill. Robert Moore and his brother George donated a two-acre plot on which to build a log county courthouse and jail. (This site is now the location of Fountain Square Park.)

The following year, the Moores offered an additional donation of more than 30 acres for the creation of a town to surround the recently constructed public buildings. At the first county commissioners meeting in early 1798, the pioneers decided that the new town would be "called and known by the name of Bolin Green." This name was after the Bowling Green Square in New York City, where patriots had pulled down a statue of King George III and used the lead to make bullets during the American Revolution.

Within only a few decades, Bowling Green was established as a commercial and transportation center for the South Central Kentucky area. After a brief competition with the small Jeffersonville and New Town settlements alongside the Barren River, Bowling Green gained the official designation of county seat in 1809 and incorporated in 1812.

Nothing to do with bowling.
