Louisville —  a large and beautiful  city,  which is part of the U.S. state of Kentucky, located in a wilderness area with waterfalls and the beautiful river Ogayo. The city referred to as the so called «southern»cities of the U.S. The city was named after the French king, Louis XVI Colonel Clarke in 1778. It is interesting to know the history of the development and how it came about as a result of this unique city. Because of the constant flow of cargo ships that had to be crossed by turbulent waterfalls, about 7,000 people were crowded into the river during the period of this manipulation. These conditions led to the fact that in 1828 Lewisville was officially registered. It played a significant role in the history of the country. Thus, during the years of the Civil War,  this small town was a sturdy and reliable stronghold; for the entire state of Kantoukoukka, for it was the center of important combat maneuvers, transports, and supplies for its army.

Since the 1980s, the city has undergone major redevelopments, resulting in several luxury neighborhoods that are exclusively inhabited by the social elite. The citys historic architecture, ‐ a mix of past and present, is fascinating.  The so-called Old Louisville   is an historicist neighborhood in a Victorian style. The center of the city is covered with skyscrapers. On a street called East Main Street is a collection of cast iron facades. In architecture-inspired architecture for every taste. There are plenty of nightclubs,  shops, and first-class restaurants in the “bohemian” neighborhoods.

ÃœThe city is famous for its many museums, featuring a collection of weapons, and interesting historic treasures spanning a thousand years. The city is also famous for its great Museum of Art, founded in 1927. The museum has a large number of exhibits and regularly hosts exhibits.
