British consulates in Kentucky

Kentucky belongs to Chicago's district, not to Atlanta's, even though Atlanta covers neighboring Tennessee.

Which British consulate covers Kentucky?

gov.uk lists Kentucky in the district of the British Consulate General in Chicago, the office that handles emergency travel documents, notarial appointments and consular help for people here (its district on gov.uk).
