Coal miners soon moved to the new town to work in the emerging coal industry. Louisville is in an area known as the Northern Coal Field, an extensive coal field in Boulder and Weld counties. 
    
From 1890 to 1928, the Acme Mine operated directly beneath the original town of Louisville. Worked on two levels, the Acme produced nearly 2 million tons of coal and was one of 171 coal mines in Boulder County.
    
In all, 30 mines were located in and around Louisville. During the peak years of 1907 and 1909, there were 12 mines in operation. The use of coal declined following World War II and the last mines near Louisville closed in 1952.
   
Louis Nawatny, a local landowner, platted his land and named it for himself. Louisville was incorporated on June 16, 1882.
