Situated along the mighty Ohio River, Louisville is the largest city in the commonwealth of Kentucky and the 28th largest city by population in the United States. It’s name has a royal connection, with the famous explorer and Louisville founder George Rogers Clark naming the city after King Louis XVI of France.
Louisville is most certainly considered royalty by horse racing fans. The iconic Churchill Downs race track has hosted the Kentucky Derby since 1875, with the Run for the Roses drawing massive crowds each and every May. If thundering thoroughbreds and the Derby’s famous mint julep drinks aren’t your thing, the city offers plenty of alternatives that will excite just about anyone. The Louisville Slugger Museum provides a history of the famous baseball bats manufactured in the city, while Bardstown Road is a unique collection of local shops and artist dens that has grown popular with fans of the "indie scene."
The city’s transportation sector is unquestionably dominated by the United Parcel Service hub at Louisville International Airport, dubbed "Worldport." UPS has used it to ship packages all over the world since 1980, with multiple expansions turning it into a truly monumental freight and shipping center.
