History
The first permanent settlement at Louisville was made in 1857. Louisville was platted in about 1870 when the Burlington & Missouri River Railroad was extended to that point. The community was likely named after the city of Louisville, Kentucky. A folk etymology maintains the name Louisville is derived from one Mr. Lois, the proprietor of a local gristmill. The current mayor of Louisville is Rodney Petersen, a lifelong resident of the city.
