History[edit]
According to the Louisville Metro Department of Neighborhoods, Plantation was originally built around farmland and later additions from the Palmer-Ball farm of approximately 100 acres (40 ha). The original subdivision was established for the Plantation Swim Club[4] that existed from 1956 until 2004. The Plantation Swim Club was the home of the National Swim and Diving Championships as seen on ABC Sports for many years. Part of the original land division included a gift to the Catholic Church for the establishment of the Mother of Good Counsel parish and school, which is now home to Portland Christian School.[5]
