A rusty metal utility with the words “City of Jeffersonville Established 1802” includes subtle design elements hinting at Jeffersonville’s past as a center of boat manufacturing, at the Jeffboat shipyards on the Ohio River, which were founded back in 1834 by James Howard. Jeffersonville is located in Indiana, across the river from Louisville, Kentucky.
