St. Matthews is a city in eastern Jefferson County , Kentucky , United States . The population was 15,852 at the 2000 census. As of 2004, the population recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau is 17,374. When the government of Jefferson County merged with the city of Louisville, Kentucky in 2003, citizens of St. Matthews also became citizens of the new Louisville Metro , however, none of the incorporated places in Jefferson County were affected (retaining their city government and some city services, such as police and fire departments).
The area eventually known as St. Matthews was first settled in 1779 by Colonial John Floyd . Floyd, who had actually conducted an important survey of Jefferson County in 1774, bought 2,000 acres of land from soldiers who had been awarded the parcels for their service in the French and Indian War . He arrived over land on November 8 , 1779 , bringing several family members and a black slave, and built cabins and a stockade that came to be known as Floyd's Station. [1]
The town developed at the same time as nearby Louisville, Kentucky , centered around the intersection of Breckenridge Lane, Shelbyville Road and Westport Road. By 1840 it was known as Gilman's Point, after local tavern owner Daniel Gilman. The name St. Matthews emerged in 1850, after the area's first church, St. Matthews Episcopal Church. It became official in 1851 when a newly opened post office adopted the name. The oldest remaining church is Holy Trinity, built in 1882 on the site of present day Trinity High School .
The community was connected by the Louisville, Lexington & Cincinnati Railroad , built in the mid-1800s, and a later railroad connecting Louisville to Anchorage and Middletown . St. Matthews was heavily agricultural well into the 20th century, from 1910 to 1946 home to the St. Matthews Produce Exchange, which was once the second-largest potato shipper in the country.
During the first half of the 20th century, the farms were gradually subdivided. The original landowners names, such as Brown, Rudy, Nanz, Monahan and Oeschner, have been leant to many of the local streets. The town's first bank was founded in 1905, and a modern shopping district began developing in the 1920s that would include the landmark Vogue Theatre , opened in 1938.
Growth of the area was sped up even faster by the 1937 flood , which lead many families to literally move to higher ground. St. Matthews incorporated as a city in 1950, partially to address infrastructure problems and build a sewer system. The Mall St. Matthews , Louisville's first true indoor shopping mall, opened around this time.
The boundaries of St. Matthews are roughly Cannons Lane to the west, I-264 and to the south and east, and several subdivisions off of Brownsboro Road to the north. These include Bellewood , Brownsboro Village , Maryhill Estates and Windy Hills . The cities of Richlawn and Norbourne Estates are located within St. Matthews.
