Information About

California, Louisville




African Americans settled the area after the Civil War , starting the California Colored School and a branch of the Freedman's Bureau . The early population was mixed between whites and blacks, but white families began to leave around 1900 . The neighborhood lost 50% of its population and 40% of its single-family housing from 1950 to 1980 and became known for its Urban Decay .

California has been the subject of Urban Renewal efforts, including those by the Brown-Forman Corporation , whose headquarters and warehouse is located in the neighborhood.
