History & geography

History

The town was named after Colonel Davis Floyd. James Moore first built a gristmill in the town in 1815. The word "knobs" in the town's name comes from the local terrain. As one approaches Floyds Knobs from the southeast, the Knobstone Escarpment rises 400–850 feet above the Ohio River floodplain along the northwestern edge of New Albany, Indiana. The eroded hills along the edge of this plateau, called "knobs", run the gauntlet of the eastern edge of the Norman Upland geologic area of Indiana. Floyds Knobs is home to PGA golfer Fuzzy Zoeller, as well as Terraria developers Re-Logic. Historically, the commercial center of the community was at the intersection of Scottsville Road and Paoli Pike, (Old U.S. Highway 150) along the primary route from New Albany to Paoli, Indiana. However, exit 119 on Interstate 64 (US 150) has substantial commercial and residential development west of the historic center.

Geography

Floyds Knobs is located four miles northwest of the Ohio River and downtown New Albany. The geographical area rolls along its topography with a large bluff rising over 750 feet above the lower New Albany, Indiana. The historical Buffalo Trail rides along this bluff on what is now named Paoli Pike. Historically, buffalo used this trail to migrate through the area before later becoming extinct in the area. There are several routes up the bluff's face from New Albany to Floyds Knobs and Lafayette.
