    City Description

    Shively is a city in Jefferson County, Kentucky, United States. The population was 15,157 at the 2000 census. It is located southwest of Louisville, Kentucky and directly adjoins the larger city.

The area came to be known as the Shively precinct. Shively donated land for a church in 1816, and it has lived on and is today Parkview Methodist.
