Louisville's early economy first developed through the shipping and cargo industries. Its strategic location at the Falls of the Ohio, as well as its unique position in the central United States (within one day's travel to 60% of the cities in the continental U.S.) make it an ideal location for the transfer of cargo along its route to other destinations. In the early days, the Louisville and Portland Canal (today, called the McAlpine Locks and Dam) was a crucial link in water traffic on its route from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (and other orig ...

The history of Louisville spans hundreds of years, and has been influenced by the area's unique geography and location. The city attributes its growth to the fact that boats had to be unloaded and moved downriver before reaching the falls.
