Major Accomplishments

Over the years, in partnerhship with other organizations and government agencies, we accomplished the following: The widening of New Cut Road, Seneca, Southside Drive,and Third Street Sewers to improve drainage on Jones and Westview Drives. Improvements to Iroquois Park and Iroquois Amphitheatre.

As first recognized by Louisville and Jefferson County, the organization became the largest Neighborhood Associations by territory with South Louisville.

About our association

Mission, Officers & Board of Directors

The Iroquois Civic Club was founded by the residents and business leaders of South Louisville to encourage civic and neighborhood improvements for our area.

Prior to merger, the post-war boom in the suburbs of our city created the need for improvements in traffic, sewers and drainage, zoning, housing, Parks, recreation, fire,
police and protection and health.

Founded in 1945 at the summit of Iroquois Park Hill, by concerned citizens, the association has a rich tradition of accomplishment and neighborhood pride.

The nonpartisan objective is residential quality and commercial prosperity for South Louisville.
