Louisville (/ˈluːivɪl/ (listen) LOO-ee-vil, US: /ˈluːɪvɪl/ (listen) LOO-ə-vəl, locally /ˈlʊvɪl/ (listen) LUUV-əl) is the largest city in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the 28th most-populous city in the United States.[a] Louisville is the historical seat and, since 2003, the nominal seat of Jefferson County, on the Indiana border.

Named after King Louis XVI of France, Louisville was founded in 1778 by George Rogers Clark, making it one of the oldest cities west of the Appalachians. With nearby Falls of the Ohio as the only major obstruction to river traffic between the upper Ohio River and the Gulf of Mexico, the settlement first grew as a portage site. It was the founding city of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, which grew into a 6,000-mile (9,700 km) system across 13 states.

Today, the city is known as the home of boxer Muhammad Ali, the Kentucky Derby, Kentucky Fried Chicken, the University of Louisville and its Cardinals, Louisville Slugger baseball bats, and three of Kentucky's six Fortune 500 companies: Humana, Kindred Healthcare, and Yum! Brands. Muhammad Ali International Airport, Louisville's main commercial airport, hosts UPS's worldwide hub.

Lankao, a county under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng City, Henan Province, and Zhiguan County, Henan Province, is located at the last bend of the Jiuqu Yellow River, with a total area of 1116 square kilometers and a total population of 859100. It is an important part of "half-hour traffic circle" in "one pole, two circles and three layers" in Henan Province. Lankao County was a household in the Spring and Autumn period, and Jiyang County was the beginning of Lankao County in the Qin Dynasty. In 5 BC, Emperor Liu Xiu, Emperor of the Han Dynasty, was born in the Jiyang Palace in the north of the county. In 9 years, it was changed from Dongfen County to Dongming County. In 1218, Dongming County was abandoned as Tongan Castle, and the new county seat was moved to the old land of Yuanggu County in the north of the Yellow River. In 1232, the south of the Yellow River was divided into two counties: Lanyang County and Yifeng County. In March 1783, the county seat of Kaocheng County moved to Lankao County for the first time. In 1825, Yifeng County was merged into Lanyang County, known as "Lanyi County".
