Welcome to the Newto News for March of 2024. My name is Zack Cockfield, and my team and I created Newtomedia as a way for visitors or new residents to get information about a city. Each month we bring together resources that will update you on the history, amenities, culture, future opportunities and all other things inside a city that make it unique. We also hope to be a resource for connecting you with people and businesses that can help you live a better life. If you find our efforts useful, please click on the links to get more information!

Louisville, Kentucky was founded in 1778 by George Rogers Clark, a Revolutionary War hero. The city was named after King Louis XVI of France in gratitude for his support during the war for independence. Louisville quickly became a bustling river port town due to its location on the Ohio River, making it a key hub for trade and transportation in the region. In the 19th century, Louisville prospered as a center for agriculture, manufacturing, and commerce. The city played a significant role in the Civil War, serving as a strategic location for both the Union and Confederate armies. In the early 20th century, Louisville became known for its bourbon whiskey production, with many distilleries calling the city home. The Kentucky Derby, held annually at Churchill Downs since 1875, also helped put Louisville on the map as a destination for horse racing enthusiasts. Today, Louisville is a vibrant city with a rich history, diverse culture, and thriving economy. It continues to be a major player in the bourbon industry and a popular tourist destination for visitors from around the world.
