Rubbertown is a neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky located along the Ohio River. During World War II it became the home of many industrial plants which remained after the war and lead to its name. Its largest businesses include American Synthetic Rubber, Borden Chemical, DuPont Dow Elastomers, Noveon, Rohm and Haas, & Zeon Chemicals. Rubbertown is host to 11 large chemical plants, the largest source of industrial emissions in the Jefferson County area. The Rubbertown area accounts for 42% of air emissions in Jefferson County. [1]

Since the area is a potential health issue to residents, in recent years it has come under attack by various organizations in the community.
