Oldham County is located just 25 miles Northeast of Louisville, Kentucky, on Interstate 71. It is an area of remarkable economic growth, boasting the lowest unemployment rate in the state and the highest per capita income. The local Chamber of Commerce experienced a 30 percent annual increase in membership since 1993, reflecting the phenomenal commercial growth of the region. The Oldham County Chamber of Commerce, with the strength of approximately 400 member businesses, also plays a key role in the economic development of the county. Key cities in Oldham County include La Grange, Crestwood, Pewee Valley, Goshen, Orchard Grass, Park Lake, and River Bluff. La Grange (French for the Farm), is the County Seat and offers a unique sense of history blended with the conveniences of a modern city. It boasts the distinction of a historic district in which a major railroad (CSX) still traverses its Main Street, one of very few cities in the U. S. with this claim. Oldham County is a quiet retreat from today’s hustle and bustle. Quaint shops in historic buildings horses grazing in open fields the Ohio River gently lapping at the county shores all just down the road from the lights of Louisville, Kentucky’s largest city.
