Low Dutch Station

[1] The station was one of a group of seven forts established on Beargrass Creek during this period in this area that is now a part of Louisville.

[2] The group of settlers were a part of the "Low Dutch Company" and had their own bylaws, a formal charter, and accounting procedures.

The aforementioned Dutchmans Lane was originally named Deutschman's Lane, taking its name from the fact that it was the access road from Taylorsville Road to the farm owned and operated by Louis J. Hollenbach Sr., a prominent German-American businessman in early 20th-century Louisville.

The new marker also eliminated references to "Indians" and the Dutch settlers moving to Henry and Shelby Counties and buying land there from Squire Boone.

They rented land from John Floyd and built Low Dutch (New Holland) Station, one of seven forts on Beargrass Creek.
