Bird's eye view of Louisville, Jefferson County in Kentucky in 1876. Louisville was established in the late 1700's along the Ohio River. The river falls made it necessary to off-load riverboat cargo at this point until Beargrass Creek was formed into an alternate route. The early community prospered as a high bank riverfront trading center, with local farms producing wheat, oats, corn and many varieties of fruit for exportation. The salt trade was also very important in Louisville.
