Brief History
The city of Oakdale was the first true Grand Boulevard suburb. Grand Boulevard later was renamed Southern Parkway. It was begun in 1898 by an investment company headed by R. T. Coleman and S. S. Bush. During the two decades which followed Oakdale's incorporation in 1904, numerous other tracts, including Wyandotte, were subdivided and developed. The whole area was annexed by Louisville in 1922 after a prolonged legal fight which was taken to the US Supreme Court. The Court would not consider the case because it was not a constitutional issue.
