The population was 8,082 at the time of the 2010 U.S. census. It is the seat of its county.[2] HistoryLa Grange was founded in 1827 when the Oldham County seat was relocated from Westport at the suggestion of Major William Berry Taylor. The new town was named for Château de la Grange-Bléneau, the French country estate of Gilbert du Motier, the American Revolutionary hero better known as the Marquis de Lafayette, who had visited the area in 1824.[3] For unknown reasons, the county seat returned to Westport from 1828 to 1838 before settling at La Grange. The city was formally incorporated by the state legislature on January 23, 1840.[4] The La Grange Little League team participated in the 2011 Little League World Series. RailroadAn unusual feature of La Grange is the CSX Transportation mainline on Main Street. The only other American locales to have a street running mainline track are Jack London Square in Oakland, California and CSS in Michigan City, Indiana. CommerceThe La Grange historic district contains numerous small businesses such as shops, eateries, and art galleries. Discover Downtown La Grange is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting business, history, and community in the city.[5] La Grange hosts a Farmers and Artisan Market, a Kentucky Proud Market, where locally made items are sold.
