Bourbon is appellation protected - it's all from Kentucky. That's the reason Jack Daniels is "Tennessee Whiskey".
Common misconception! There are rules when it comes to making bourbon, but location isn't one of them. Check out Koval bourbon from Illinois, and I'm sure there's plenty of good stuff coming out of Oregon and California.
Edit: It does have to be made in the US, not a specific state or county.
Contrary to popular belief, bourbon may be made anywhere within the US:

“Tennessee Whiskey” has its own standards, most notably that it should be from Tennessee:
