Erlanger in the Northern Kentucky Corridor
Erlanger is a city of roughly 19,000 residents in Kenton County, positioned along I-75 between Covington to the north and Florence to the south. The city was incorporated in 1897 and named after Baron Frederic Emile d'Erlanger, a German-born financier who invested in the Cincinnati Southern Railway. The railroad connection shaped the early development of the community.
The Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport sits partially within Erlanger's boundaries, and the airport's operations influence the city's economy significantly. DHL established its Americas hub at the airport, and the logistics and air freight industry supports thousands of jobs in the surrounding area. Hotel, restaurant, and rental car businesses along the Donaldson Highway and Turfway Road corridors cater to airport traffic.
Turfway Park, a horse racing track that has operated since 1959 under various names, is located in the city. The track hosts winter and spring thoroughbred meets, filling a gap in the Kentucky racing calendar between the fall meet at Keeneland and the spring season at Churchill Downs. Erlanger also contains a mix of older residential neighborhoods near the city center and newer commercial development along the interstate.
