Due to Louisville's unique central site, and location near the Ohio Falls, makes it the most ideal place for transferring cargo which is moving onto various cities. Crucial links in rail and water transportation comprise the Louisville and Nashville Railroad and the Louisville and Portland Canal. Even today, the city of Louisville is an integral part of the shipping business since the presence of the Worldport global air-freight hub is located at the Louisville International Airport.
