The Cherokee Triangle Association (CTA) was formed in 1962 to infuse new energy into a deteriorating urban neighborhood. Largely due to the efforts of the CTA Board of Trustees, this Louisville, Kentucky neighborhood was designated a preservation district in 1975. The CTA continues to champion preservation of the historic neighborhood and celebrate its rich heritage through publications, neighborhood forums and a newsletter. A juried art fair and outdoor festival takes to Cherokee Parkway the weekend before Derby in April each year.

3. to provide a medium for news and views of Triangle residents;

4. and to provide information about opportunities to serve the neighborhood as volunteers and information about opportunities for residents to meet their neighbors.
