Louisville, New York
Louisville is a town in St. Lawrence County, New York, United States. The population was 3,145 at the 2010 census. The town is reportedly named after King Louis XIV of France, but is pronounced as "Lewis-ville."
The Town of Louisville is at the northern border of the county and is west of Village of Massena.
Nahum Wilson, originally from Peru, NY, and his family were the first to settle the area in April 1800.
The town was established in 1810 from part of the Town of Massena. Almost half of Louisville was lost to form the Town of Norfolk in 1823. Part of the lost territory was returned from the Town of Norfolk in 1844. An attempt to take part of Louisville for the Town of Massena in 1849 was rejected.
Early settlers frequently interacted with their Canadian neighbours (then British North America) and both would often cross the St. Lawrence River to meet. During the War of 1812, although they still had good relations with their neighbours, the men of Louisville formed a militia and elected Benjamin Daniels as their "high sergeant". The militia controlled traffic down the river, but were ordered to allow Native Americans to pass.
After the war, meetings between the residents and Canadians would still take place confidentially overnight.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 63.8 square miles (165 km2), of which 48.2 square miles (125 km2) is land and 15.7 square miles (41 km2) (24.58%) is water.
The northern town line, which is delineated by the St. Lawrence River, is the international border with Canada, specifically the Province of Ontario. The Grasse River flows northeastward through the town.
