LOUISVILLE NEIGHBORHOODS

This is a list of official 'neighborhoods in Louisville, Kentucky'. Like many older American cities, Louisville has well-defined neighborhoods, many with well over a century of history as a neighborhood.
The oldest neighborhoods are the riverside areas of Downtown and Portland (initially a separate settlement), representing the early role of the river as the most important form of commerce and transportation. As the city expanded, peripheral neighborhoods like Phoenix Hill, Russell, Shelby Park, Smoketown and others were developed to house and employ the growing population.
The arrival of the streetcar allowed suburbs to be built further out, such as Beechmont, Old Louisville, Shawnee and the Highlands. An interurban rail line in the early 1900s lead to communities east of Louisville such as Anchorage and Glenview becoming year-round homes for the rich. Some of Louisville's very rich also moved to mansions along Alta Vista road, in today's Cherokee Seneca neighborhood.
