Glenview is a6th-class city along the southern bank of theOhio River in northeasternJefferson County,Kentucky, United States. As of the2020 census, Glenview had a population of 596.[4]
Glenview has the2nd-highest per capita income within Kentucky and the 74th-highest in the United States. The city is known for its old estate homes on high bluffs overlooking the Ohio River.
5,000 acres (20 km2) of the surrounding land were originally owned by James Smalley Bate and named "Berry Hill" for hisformer Virginia home. The estate was purchased in 1868 by meat packer James C. McFerran. McFerran's horse farm was named "Glen View". After his death in 1885, John E. Green acquired the farm and renamed it "Glenview Stock Farm". The community received its post office on May 11, 1893.[5]
In the late 19th century, wealthy families fromLouisville began moving east to build summer homes in communities such asAnchorage. Some of these eventually became full-time residences. Early residents of Glenview cooperated with other communities to open theLouisville, Harrods Creek and Westport Railroad in 1877, a commuter rail line in use until its abandonment in the 1950s. Some of Louisville's most influential families, including theBinghams, the Ballards, and theBelknaps, moved into the area after the opening of the railroad.[6]
Many houses are part of theGlenview Historic District. Several buildings are individually listed on theNational Register of Historic Places including theBallard School,Boxhill andLincliff.
Some developers have played off Glenview's reputation, establishing similarly named communities atGlenview Manor andGlenview Hills in the 1960s and 70s. Louisville attempted to annex Glenview in 1983, which prompted its residents to seek a separate incorporation from the state legislature. This was granted in 1985.[7] Many of the houses are part of the Glenview Historic District, which is on theNational Register of Historic Places.
