Our History

Seneca Gardens, Kentucky, is a home rule city in Jefferson County, bordered by Woodbourne Avenue, Carolina Avenue, Taylorsville Road, Bowman Field, and Seneca Park. Known for its park-like setting and strong sense of community, the neighborhood has been a popular residential area since its development in 1922. Although surrounded by Louisville since 1948, it remains self-governed with an elected mayor, four commissioners, and appointed city officials who oversee essential services such as police and fire protection, garbage collection, road maintenance, and drainage. Nearly all of its 270 homes are single-family residences, with a few duplexes and one triplex, housing a close-knit population of about 700 residents.
