About Louisville, Kentucky
Louisville is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Kentucky, sixth-most populous city in the Southeast, and the 27th-most-populous city in the United States.

Perhaps most well known is the Kentucky Derby, held annually during the first Saturday of May. (Wikipedia)
