6 Anderson, A Love Affair with Southern Cooking, 342. Bourbon County, Kentucky, is not the only place in North America named for the former royal family of France. Kansas also has a Bourbon County, and Indiana and Missouri, two states that both used to produce bourbon whiskey, have townships named Bourbon. There is also Fort Bourbon in Canada on the north shore of the Saskatchewan River; and New Orleans is known for Bourbon Street. Standage, A History of the World in 6 Glasses, 126.
