Oldham County, located northeast of Jefferson County, was formed in 1823 and was named after a Revolutionary War officer, Colonel William Oldham. Oldham County consists of seven incorporated communities: LaGrange, PeeWee Valley, Crestwood, Goshen, Orchard Grass Hills, River Bluff and Park Lake. The town of LaGrange is the largest, a fourth class city, and is known for its railroad line, which runs directly through Main Street downtown. 

Oldham County is one of the Louisville area’s fastest growing counties. There are many reasons for this rapid growth; the most significant being the completion of Interstate 71 in the early 1970’s, which runs between Cincinnati and Louisville. Another reason Oldham County has gained so much popularity is its award winning school system and large tracts of picturesque undeveloped land close to the Ohio River.

Oldham County is 190 square miles of rolling hills and valleys. Even with the county’s significant growth, Oldham County is still quite rural and is home to vast agricultural land and horse farms. The scenic farmland and open terrain has enticed Louisvillians to move east to escape the city life and seek refuge in the peaceful and open country settings. As a result, there has been significant development in the form of subdivisions and large riverfront communities in Oldham County. Hillcrest, Majestic Woods, Longwood and Glen Oaks are some of the developing subdivisions in Oldham County. Oldham County is the wealthiest county in Kentucky; as a result, many of the communities in Oldham County are remarkable. Homes in these prestigious neighborhoods, like Briar Hill Estates tend to be upwards of $600,000+ and have total finished square footage of 3,000-5,000 square feet.
