Believed to have been named for the citizens who settled the area as early as the 1840s; Germantown and Schnitzelburg are located just east of downtown Louisville. The first parcels purchased and settled were part of the 1;000-acre land grant that was awarded to Col. Arthur Campbell in 1790 for his service to Virginia in the Indian Wars. Spanning more than 160 years of growth; the area developed from farms and dairies in the 1850s; to the industrialization of the 1880s; and then the halcyon era of the 1950s as a safe haven of family; community; and church. Remarkable historic landmarks include a Victorian-era cotton mill; DuPont Manual High School�s football stadium; and the eclectic collection of residential architecture classified as �shotgun� and �camelback.� Numerous neighborhood taverns and bakeries are both historic landmarks and popular eateries in this community. Look inside and enjoy the history and beauty of a bygone era and the development of a thriving community.
