History of the French in Louisville : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of the French in Louisville
The influence of those of French ancestry on Louisville, Kentucky, USA and the surrounding area, especially New Albany, Indiana, is immense. Louisville was even named for a French king, Louis XVI. Before Louisville a French outpost existed called La Belle.〔Kleber, John E. ''Encyclopedia of Louisville'' (University Press of Kentucky) page 322〕 ==18th century== Louisville was almost completely settled by French immigrants from the Rhine.〔Howe, Henry ''Historical Collections of Ohio: An Encyclopedia of the State: History'' (Lanning Printing Co) page 624〕 Early French immigrants came in three phases; the first group of about 15,000 settled mostly on the coastal states. The first French settlers of Louisville were second- and third-generation American-born Huguenots. The first generation arrived in North America in 1685 after the Edict of Nantes was repealed. These were represented by such people as Thomas Bullitt, a surveyor who started Bullitt's Lick, Kentucky's oldest industry.〔Kleber pg.321.〕 The second significant immigration was mainly of culture value during the American Revolution as most of the French that came overseas during this time returned after the war. The third migration during the French Revolution during 1793 provided a wide variety of people from nobles to clergy.〔Kleber, John E. ''Encyclopedia of Louisville'' (University Press of Kentucky) page 321-322〕 Most of the groups that traveled to Kentucky settled in Louisville at the Falls of the Ohio. During this time, the French descendants and immigrants utilized Shippingport and Portland for commerce. A settler named Aaron Fontaine ran a ferry system called Fontaine Ferry that later became the namesake for Fontaine Ferry Park.〔Kleber pg.304〕 In 1782, Jean A. Honoré and Bethelemi Tardiveau had a business at Shippingport in which they dealt in flour, furs and land, leading them to meet George Rogers Clark.〔 Their business became the first exploit of the New Orleans trade.〔
