Louisville and the Economy Built Around Bourbon
Louisville sits on the southern bank of the Ohio River, directly across from Indiana. The Falls of the Ohio, a series of rapids that forced river traffic to stop and portage, made the location a natural trading post from the late 1700s. George Rogers Clark established the settlement in 1778 during the Revolutionary War, and the city grew steadily as a gateway between the northern and southern United States.
The bourbon industry defines much of Louisville's identity. More than 120 million dollars' worth of bourbon ages in warehouses along what the city calls "Urban Bourbon Trail," a collection of bars and distilleries spread across downtown and the surrounding neighborhoods. Brown-Forman, the company behind Woodford Reserve and Old Forester, is headquartered here. Louisville also hosts the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs every first Saturday in May, an event that dates to 1875 and draws roughly 150,000 spectators annually.
Healthcare and logistics form the backbone of the local economy beyond bourbon and tourism. UPS operates its global air hub at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, the company's largest automated package-handling facility in the world. Humana, one of the largest health insurance companies in the country, maintains its headquarters in the city center.
