About Barbourmeade, KY

Present-day Barbourmeade is part of the loosely defined historic community known as Springdale, after the farm that stood on the south side of Brownsboro Road beginning in 1830. Though it is not a formally recognized neighborhood or district within Louisville, nor does it have official boundaries, older businesses in the community still retain the Springdale name. Barbour Lane, which runs though the middle of the community, was originally the entry drive to the Barbour house, which sat on the Barbour family's 500-acre tract of land between Brownsboro Road and River Road. The intersection of present-day Barbour Lane and Brownsboro Road, then a toll road known as the Louisville-Brownsboro Turnpike, was home to a gristmill, grocery and blacksmith shop as far back as 1879, as well as a tavern known as the Seven Mile House for its location from downtown Louisville. This intersection remains a commercial hub for the immediate community, serviced by a convenience store and gas station (a Convenient Food Mart, a Dairy Mart and currently a Circle K), dry cleaner, liquor store, animal hospital and automotive shop.
