South Louisville Live Cam

South Louisville is a diverse and historically significant area of Louisville, Kentucky. The area has a rich history dating back to the 1700s when it was first settled by European immigrants, including French fur traders and English pioneers.

During the 1800s, South Louisville became an important transportation hub with the construction of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, which brought new industries and jobs to the area. The neighborhood of Germantown was founded in 1851 and quickly became a thriving community of German immigrants.

In the early 1900s, South Louisville continued to grow as a center of industry, with the construction of the Ford Motor Company Assembly Plant and the National Distillers Products Company, which produced Old Forester whiskey. Many of the workers at these factories lived in nearby neighborhoods, such as Beechmont and Oakdale.
