Central Park, the name: Although it was designed by Frederick Law Olmstead, the designer of New York's more famous Central Park, Louisville's version has little else to do with New York's. The park was certainly not centrally located in its early years, being about a mile south of the city limits. The name Central Park is almost certainly derived from DuPont's Central Street Railway line, originally mule-drawn, that brought people from the center of town to the park land, and thus made a profit for Mssrs. DuPont. Also, nearby in the early days was the "Central Plank Road" turnpike (now Third Street). It's not likely that the park was named for this road, but it may be possible that the Central Railway line name may have been influenced by its proximity.
