Two Civil War battles were fought in Cynthiana; the first on July 17, 1862, was part of a raid into Kentucky by Confederate General John Hunt Morgan; the second on June 11 and 12, 1864, resulted in defeat of Confederate forces on Morgan's last raid into the state.〔(Kentucky Civil War Trails )〕 On January 23, 1877, an LL chondrite meteorite fell in Cynthiana.〔(A Chapter in the history of Meteorites by Walter Flight )〕 In March, 1997, the Licking River which bisects Cynthiana flooded, causing extensive damage in Cynthiana and neighboring communities. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cynthiana, Kentucky」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
