Learn More About Living in Louisville


History

The city was founded in the late 1800’s by Louis Nawatny who named the town after himself.  Coal mining was the primary industry; the town boasted over 100 mines in its heyday in the early 1900s with the largest being the Acme mine located directly beneath Old Town.   


Layout

Louisville is located 10 minutes southeast of Boulder, on the east side of Highway 36.  The city is composed of two distinct business districts; Old Town to the east and a more diffuse region on the west side of town.  Residential areas are primarily located in between these shopping districts.  Old Town offers local restaurants, breweries, bakeries, unique shops, the public library, and the outdoor pool associated with the Recreation Center, which is located in central Louisville.  The west side of town offers hiking trails closer to the foothills, shopping in larger retail stores like the Home Depot, Safeway Grocery, and fast-casual eateries.  Other retail stores including Costco, Whole Foods, Panera, Target, Ulta Beauty, and Ethan Allen are a two-minute drive across Highway 36.  Many residents who commute via the regional bus system to Boulder or Denver to work will park their vehicles at the popular park-and-ride lot just off Highway 36 too.  Residents who commute locally often work out of the Colorado Technology Center, which is a master-planned business complex that houses nearly one hundred tech and manufacturing companies on the east side of town or the Centennial Vallery Business Park on the west side of town.  Local businesses include Sierra Nevada Space Corp., Fresca Foods, Medtronic, GHX, Design Mechanical,  Gaia, Vaisala, and CableLabs.
