Clifton Heights is a neighborhood two miles east of downtown Louisville, Kentucky USA.
It was named because of its hilly location atop a ridge about 100 feet above the Ohio River floodplain, overlooking the adjacent community of Clifton.
Though first planned in the 1890s as Summit Park, actual growth didn't begin until after World War I when automobiles made the hilly area accessible.
A major production factory for Fischer's meats was located in the area for many decades before being relocated to Owensboro, Kentucky.
The world's oldest water tower is located just to the community's north on the Ohio River.
