Low Dutch Station was established in 1780 on the middle fork of Beargrass Creek in Kentucky. This station was settled by Dutch pioneers from Pennsylvania and was also known as New Holland Station.[1] The station was one of a group of six forts established on Beargrass Creek during this period in this area that is now a part of Louisville, Kentucky. The leader of the group was Hendrick Banta.[2] The group of settlers were a part of the "Low Dutch Company" that was a group that was structured in that it had bylaws, a formal charter, and accounting procedures. The group had as its purpose the preservation of the language, culture and religion of the Dutch.[3] The Dutch traveled from a settlement near Harrodsburg to Low Dutch Station on a road which became Dutchmans Lane in St. Matthews.[4]
