History
South Park View incorporated as a city of the 6th class in April 1961. The city was a residential suburb until the expansion of the Louisville International Airport realigned runways and created noise levels that the Federal Aviation Administration considered "significant." During the 2000s, residents were relocated and an enterprise zone industrial park replaced much of the housing, resulting in a population loss for the city from 196 to 7 between the 2000 and 2010 censuses.
