Hi, Supposedly, the one in Kentucky wasn't originally called Kentucky Fried Chicken. At some point, Colonel Sanders was vacationing out west and stayed with the owner of a restaurant in Salt Lake City. The Colonel made some of his famous chicken, and his host was so impressed that he talked the Colonel into some licensing/franchise agreement. And of course, being in Utah, they wanted the name to reflect that this wasn't just any old style of chicken, hence the name: "Kentucky Fried Chicken".
So, I guess in a way, both could be right. Certainly, the first place to serve what would be called Kentucky Fried Chicken would be the original restaurant in Corbin. But the first restaurant to be called Kentucky Fried Chicken (and I think the first franchisee) is in Salt Lake City. Anyway, that's the way I heard it. William in Utah.
