About Louisville

Louisville is Kentucky's largest city, on the Ohio River, famed for the Kentucky Derby, a giant baseball bat and a trail of bourbon distilleries.

Louisville stands on the Ohio River, on the border with Indiana, and was named in 1780 after King Louis XVI of France. Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby since 1875, has twin spires on its grandstand and a museum telling the story of the race. Whiskey Row, a street of old cast-iron buildings downtown, now holds bourbon bars and distillery tours, and the Muhammad Ali Center honours the boxer who was born in the city.
