History of South Park View
South Park View officially became a city in April 1961. For many years, it was a quiet place where people lived. However, things changed when the Louisville International Airport expanded. The airport's new runways caused a lot of noise. This noise was considered "significant" by the government.
Because of the noise, people living in South Park View had to move. Their homes were replaced by an industrial park. This change caused the city's population to drop a lot. In 2000, there were 196 people. By 2010, only 7 people lived there. By the 2020 census, no one was officially living in South Park View.
