Hello, I am John Black, Mayor of La Grange. Welcome to the website for the City of LaGrange!
La Grange has been my home my entire life and I am proud of our city. La Grange is a relaxed, suburban community located 20 minutes northeast of Louisville, Kentucky. We are the county seat of Oldham County. We are also easy trek from Cincinnati. We like to say La Grange and Oldham County is where Louisville and Cincinnati meet. La Grange is known for trains. A unique feature of our town is the CSX rail line. La Grange is one of only a few communities in the United States with a rail track running through the heart of the city business district. People come from all over to enjoy watching close-up the 25 or so trains which move each day through our city. Please visit our downtown and train museum. La Grange is known for easy walking, friendly neighbors, and our picturesque town square. We are also 'Open for Business', retail and commercial. Our Oldham Reserve Office Park is a beautiful setting for quality companies seeking to attract employees who wish to work close to home, in a suburban environment. I am always available to meet with citizens or visitors. I can be reached at city hall, or by phone 502-376-6799 or by email Mayor@LaGrangeKY.net |
