    Louisville has changed significantly during the past century. Downtown has been developed, bridges added over the Ohio River, major manufacturing has come into the region and residents have become national icons. The Kentucky Derby went from a local race into a national cultural phenomenon and a wooden bat became a national treasure.

    Louisville is what it is now because of where it has been. Take a look at how Derby City has evolved through the decades through photographs taken by photojournalists of The Courier Journal and others that were published on the pages of our daily newspaper.
