==History==
{{See also|History of Louisville, Kentucky}}

The land of the present city was part of a military grant to Henry Harrison. It was surveyed by John Floyd in 1774 and first settled by [[Major (U.S.)|Maj.]] William Linn, who erected Linn's [[Station (frontier defensive structure)|Station]] along [[Beargrass Creek (Kentucky)|Beargrass Creek]] in 1779. It was probably located along the east side of what is now Hurstbourne Parkway and at the time formed a part of the road from the [[Falls of the Ohio]] to [[Fort Harrod, Kentucky|Fort Harrod]]. The victims of the 1781 [[Long Run Massacre]] were on their way to this site from [[Squire Boone's Station]] when they were attacked by Indians and [[British Army|British soldiers]]. Finding their claim to the land's title questionable, Linn's heirs abandoned the site in the 1790s.<ref name=kenky>''The Kentucky Encyclopedia'', [https://books.google.com/books?id=8eFSK4o--M0C&pg=PA448 pp. 448]. "Hurstbourne". University Press of Kentucky (Lexington), 1992. Accessed 30 July 2013.</ref>

In 1789, however, [[Richard Clough Anderson Sr.|Colonel Richard Anderson]] purchased {{convert|500|acre|km2}} of land in the area and established his estate under the name "Soldier's Retreat". His house suffered damage in the [[1811–12 New Madrid earthquakes|1811 earthquake]], was struck by lightning, and was demolished in the 1840s. By 1842, [[John J. Jacob (Kentucky businessman)|John Jeremiah Jacob]] owned the property and erected Lyndon Hall, now part of the Hurstbourne Country Club's clubhouse.<ref name=kenky/>

In 1915, the Hert family acquired the property and renamed it "Hurstbourne". Hurstbourne Parkway was created in 1935 when an earlier lane was widened. By 1965, the property was called "Highbaugh Farms" and, owing to the expansion of [[Louisville, Kentucky|Louisville]], commercial and residential development began. It incorporated as a city in 1982 to prevent its annexation by Louisville. Almost all of the available land inside the city's limits was developed by 1990.<ref name=kenky/>

Development in the 1970s, however, rediscovered the ruins of the Anderson house, which was excavated and rebuilt by local developer Leroy Highbaugh Jr. He moved his family into the rebuilt Soldier's Retreat in 1983, and it now forms a local landmark.<ref name=kenky/>

==Geography==
Hurstbourne is located in east-central Jefferson County. According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the city has a total area of {{convert|4.7|km2|order=flip}}, of which {{convert|0.03|sqkm|order=flip|2}}, or 0.63%, are water.<ref name="Census 2010"/>

Hurstbourne is bounded by Shelbyville Road ([[U.S. Route 60]]) to its north, Hurstbourne Parkway to its east, [[I-64]] to its south, and [[Oxmoor Farm]] and [[Oxmoor Center]] to its west.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.maptechnica.com/us-city-boundary-map/city/Hurstbourne/state/KY/cityid/2138814|title=Hurstbourne, KY :: Boundary Map and Geodata for the City of Hurstbourne in Kentucky, U.S.A. :: MapTechnica|access-date=August 25, 2013|archive-date=April 2, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402105427/http://www.maptechnica.com/us-city-boundary-map/city/Hurstbourne/state/KY/cityid/2138814|url-status=dead}}</ref> Neighboring cities include [[Lyndon, Kentucky|Lyndon]] and [[Bellemeade, Kentucky|Bellemeade]] to the north, and [[Jeffersontown, Kentucky|Jeffersontown]] to the east. The area surrounding the intersection of I-64 and Hurstbourne Parkway can be considered an [[edge city]] to Louisville, with office parks, shopping centers, and an industrial park all concentrated within a few blocks of the parkway, and residential neighborhoods further off, all on land that was largely undeveloped 40 years earlier.
