The opening of Iroquois Park in the early 1890s created a huge demand for suburban homes south of Louisville.
The Coleman-Bush company had begun selling lots in a subdivision called Oakdale in late 1890.
Oakdale was one of many middle-class communities created at this time, facilitated by the southward extension of streetcar lines.
This would eventually lead to the entire neighborhood being officially renamed Wyandotte in the 1970s, though many residents still call it Oakdale.
