Welcome
Many years ago, our community was part of Farmington, the once sprawling farm of the Speed family. On March 1, 1924, developer C.C. Hieatt purchased 46 acres off Taylorsville Road and created the subdivision of Kingsley as an extension of the Strathmoor neighborhood. On December 21, 1939 Kingsley was incorporated as a sixth class city, which today we refer to as a Home Rule City. After a little over 80 years, Kingsley has 176 single-family residences, 2 apartments, 3 businesses and lots of green space.
Kingsley is in Louisville Metro Council District 8. Our District 8 Councilman is Cassie Armstrong who can be reached at 502-574-1108, or at Cassie.Armstrong@louisvilleky.gov and copy Megan.Metcalfe@louisvilleky.gov. You can also use the website: www.louisvilleky.gov/government/metro-council/districts-1-26
We encourage you to take walks in our beautiful neighborhood. Many of our residents—especially when the weather is nice—enjoy the extensive sidewalk system that fronts all Kingsley properties. Stretch your legs, burn some calories, and meet the neighbors. Also, be sure to take advantage of Kingsley Green. It’s a great place to toss a football or to let the little ones expend some energy.
We hope you enjoy living in Kingsley. This website was established to connect residents with City leadership, provide access to ongoing important City information, and keep residents up-to-date about City affairs and events We’d also love to proactively contact you with important events and activities.

Current Notes
Everyday Safety Measures
-Be aware of your surroundings, including other vehicles and people.
-If out shopping or unloading your vehicle, look for what might seem unusual or out or place.
-Think about being able to provide a detailed description of people and vehicles.
-Carry your well charged cellphone with 911 readily available for a call.
-If you feel your safety might be in danger, call 911.
-Never leave a gun (or ammunition) in your vehicle. Always lock your vehicle.
-Park your vehicles in your garage. If the garage is attached to the house, close and lock the garage door and lock the door into the house.
-Do not leave your car fob or keys in the vehicle.
-If you do not have a garage, park the vehicle in the driveway and preferably the backyard driveway. Lock the driveway gate.
-Install security cameras and motion sensor lights.
-If your doorbell rings, acknowledge their presence through the security camera/doorbell- do not allow them to enter your home.
It is easy to provide a list but when suddenly faced with a dangerous situation you never know how you might react. Stay alert and stay safe.
