'''Cardinal Valley''' is a [[:Category:Neighborhoods|neighborhood]] in northwestern [[Lexington, Kentucky]], United States. Its boundaries are [[Versailles Road]] to the south, Norfolk Southern railroad tracks to the north, Forbes Road to the east, and Cambridge Drive/Oxford Circle to the west. Established in the late 1950s through the early 1960s. Cardinal Valley was a typical post-war baby-boomer sub-division filled with young families. Most homes were pre-fab (some by National Homes) and originally cost between $10,000-$15,000. [[Cardinal Valley Elementary School]] on Mandalay Road was completed in time for the 1962 school year. The school originally had 2 wings with grades 1 through 3 housed in the east wing, and grades 4 through 6 in the west wing. A one and two-story addition at the end of the west wing was completed in 1967 to accommodate the school's new library and expanding fifth and sixth grade classes. [[Cardinal Valley Park]] was the predecessor to [[Valley Park]] and was located in the front parking lot of [[Cardinal Valley School]] during the summer months. After several years, Valley Park was erected in the north-east section of the neighborhood, accessed from Deauville Dr. Cardinal Valley was also the childhood home of comedian [[Jim Varney]] who is best known for his roles as character "Ernest P. Worrell" in numerous commercials, TV specials, and cinema. == Neighborhood statistics == * Population in 2000: 2,707 * Land area: 0.690 square miles (1.79 km<sup>2</sup>) * Population density: 3,924 people per square mile (1,515 people/km<sup>2</sup>) * Median income: $34,478 ==References== * [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinal_Valley,_Lexington Cardinal Valley, Lexington.
