Carter Ferry connected Portland (now the Louisville west end) with New Albany, Indiana.

In 1814, Col. Aaron Fontaine (1753-1823) purchased the ferry, it became Fontaine Ferry (pronounced fountain). In 1887, it changed hands and a hotel and bandstand was built. In 1905 it became Fontaine Ferry Amusement Park, which I visited as a kid. It closed in 1969. [Belle of Louisville steamboat is still in operation]
