History
Present-day Barbourmeade is part of the loosely defined historic community known as Springdale, after the farm that stood on the south side of Brownsboro Road beginning in 1830. Though it is not a formally recognized neighborhood or district within Louisville, nor does it have official boundaries, older businesses in the community still retain the Springdale name.
Barbour Lane, which runs through the middle of the community, was originally the entry drive to the Barbour house, which sat on the Barbour family's 500-acre tract of land between Brownsboro Road and River Road. The original Barbour house was destroyed in the 1974 tornado, which terminated near Barbour Lane.
