Westwood, KY (City)

Westwood is a small city tucked off Westport Road in Jefferson County, surrounded by Louisville’s suburban street network. It is the Jefferson County Westwood, not the separate Boyd County census-designated place with the same name. The city’s compact boundaries sit inside Louisville Metro, so errands and services point outward to the larger city while Westwood keeps its own board and tax structure.

The local calendar runs through a first-Tuesday board meeting at John Knox Presbyterian Church, resident directories, city forms, code-enforcement questions, and neighborhood announcements. The city uses Reach Alert for emergency messages and Westwood events, and its website keeps meeting minutes, ordinances, community groups, and the events calendar in one place. Board meetings are also where small-city questions get handled face to face. There is no broad downtown to define the city; Westwood is read through its streets, its boardroom, and its relationship to Westport Road. It is a small municipal pocket with a distinct address inside the Louisville map.
