Hurstbourne is a home rule-class city〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Summary and Reference Guide to House Bill 331 City Classification Reform )〕 in Jefferson County, Kentucky, United States. The population was 3,884 at the time of the 2000 U.S. census. It is part of the Louisville Metro Government. ==History== The land of the present city was part of a military grant to Henry Harrison. It was surveyed by John Floyd in 1774 and first settled by Maj. William Linn, who erected Linn's Station along Beargrass Creek in 1779. It was probably located along the east side of what is now Hurstbourne Parkway and at the time formed a part of the road between the Falls of the Ohio to Fort Harrod. The victims of the 1781 Long Run Massacre were on their way to this site from Squire Boone's Station when they were attacked by Indians and British soldiers. Finding their claim to the land's title questionable, Linn's heirs abandoned the site in the 1790s.〔''The Kentucky Encyclopedia'', (pp. 448 ). "Hurstbourne".

Richard Clough Anderson Sr. purchased of land in the area and established his estate under the name Soldier's Retreat. His house suffered damage in the 1811 earthquake, was struck by lightning, and was demolished in the 1840s. By 1842, John Jeremiah Jacob owned the property and erected Lyndon Hall, now part of the Hurstbourne Country Club's clubhouse.〔 In 1915, the Hert family acquired the property and renamed it Hurstbourne. Hurstbourne Parkway was created in 1935 when an earlier lane was widened. By 1965, the property was called Hindbaugh Farms and, owing to the expansion of Louisville, commercial and residential development began. It incorporated as a city in 1982 to prevent its annexation by Louisville. Almost all of the available land inside the city's limits was developed by 1990.〔 Development in the 1970s, however, rediscovered the ruins of the Anderson house, which was excavated and rebuilt by local developer Leroy Highbaugh Jr. He moved his family into the rebuilt Soldier's Retreat in 1983 and it now forms a local landmark.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hurstbourne, Kentucky」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
