More about Louisville, Kentucky

In the 19th century Louisville was a leading commercial center for the developing South and Midwest, prospering first as a transshipment point around the Falls of the Ohio, and later as a river port after a canal was constructed around the falls in 1830. The city became a rail center in the 1850s, and served as a Union stronghold during the American Civil War (1861-1865). Louisville was badly damaged by tornadoes in 1890 and 1974, and by a flood of the Ohio River in 1937. Its industrial base was broadened and many new buildings were constructed in the 1960s and 1970s. Louisville’s population declined considerably in the 1970s and 1980s, due to industry moving outside the city. The recession in the 1980s caused the loss of manufacturing jobs, but the population of its metropolitan area increased.
